Fret Buzz, This Creaky Noise, and this rattle noise...

[Jewbass]

Wow, this bass is getting old. My bass is having fret buzz on the D string 7th and 6th fret, and this rattling noise on the E string from open string to 4th fret, which sounds like it's coming from the bridge. On top of those two things, when ever I pull out the G string to slap it, it gives me this creaky noise...what is that exactly?

Is there any simple way to fix all three of these issues, or at least tell me what's going on?

The creaky noise is probably the nut-slot hanging up on that string.
Also sounds like you need a truss-rod adjustment.

 

[Jewbass]

ok, so for the nut-slot, is that easily adjustable?
and would the truss rod fix be an easy fix? or should i take it to my repair guy

I'd take it in to your repair guy. It should be a pretty standard set up, and shouldn't cost you much.
