fretbuzz

I recently bought a used 2008 American Standard P Bass and am pretty happy with it. However once I changed strings to my preferred Roto 66s, I noticed a couple of issues: --A noticeable fret buzz, primarily on the A string but E string as well, while digging in but not particularly hard. Only...

Curious if it's easier to get a lower action without fret buzz with flatwounds than roundwounds. I have a couple of Yamahas, both just over a couple of decades old. The one with flatwounds has been heavily used but I'm able to get the action to about 1.5mm on the B string (118 gauge) and dig in...

So I put on a new set of strings on my Fender Pbass (went from Rotosound 45-105 to Ernie Ball 50-105) because I'm going into the studio in a few days to continue a session that had been recorded with Ernie Ball strings. I knew since I'm changing strings that a setup was to be expected. The A, D...
