string buzz

OK... I've had my fretless stingray 5HH for a few months now and am loving it. Something I noticed when I got it was that on some places on the G string, it almost sounds like I have a chorus pedal on. The bass came from CA to VT, quite the climate difference. After a few days for acclimatizing...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and looking for some help with my Hofner Violin Bass. Apologies if this appears elsewhere in the forum but I couldn’t find anything. It's a B-Bass hi-Series Ignition so a budget model. I've had it for 6 or 7 years. My problem is I recently changed the strings and...

I know this is discussed in many many threads and there is a very funny thread on sticky; Help! I need to get rid of that new string sound! There are stories of very famous people running butter, mayones or greasy sauces to strings for that Jamerson tone or 6 month + old broken in strings o_O I...

Hi- I am trying to set up a 1/4-sized Englehardt. Yeah, a little weird. Two questions on E-string buzz on this. (Buzzing at about F#) 1) Any ideas about how to raise the nut slightly? Any inserts around? 2) Anyone know where I can get tapewound strings for a 1/4 sized? All I can find are...

Recently I was trying tenor bass with one of my basses, I didn't adjust the action at all as this bass almost never needs it, I just used really light gauge strings. However upon going back to standard tunings the action is horrible and all the strings are hitting the frets as if the neck is...

Im having alot of issues with my new Music Man HH stingray bass, because no matter what adjustments i do, i even raised the nut with a piece of credit card, the 4th string always has this annoying buzz on every fret i press! The action is already super high, i cannot raise the saddle anymore or...

Hi all! I recently purchased an EBMM Stingray 5 string HH and I'm getting fret buzz all over the neck on all strings. The action is a bit higher than I like and the neck appears to be pretty straight when I fret the first and last frets and look at the space between the fret and the string at...

I have been playing bass guitar for only a year and I recently bought a Spector Legend 5 Bass. I was using D'addario Nickel Wound Strings. Gauges are G-.45 D-.65 A-.80 E-.100 B-.130. I wanted to try playing a song that was down stepped to ADGCF. At first, the G and D strings made an ugly...

Hello. I'm in the middle of working on some recording and I noticed the E on my 5 string RockBass Streamer LX buzzes considerably when doing fretted slapping, and it's the only string doing so. I setup my bass (I don't play bass too often so it needed that after a long while) according to the...

Check out this session. Ruben has it going on. I usually get a bit tense when I record, i wish I had some of his confidence. I need to learn to relax more in the studio. Also, I noticed that Ruben's bass must have pretty low action. I hear a lot of buzz when the bass is soloed. But it the track...
