got a problem with my jazz

hi there... well basically i have a fender american jazz bass with di marzio pickups and badass bridge.. i have a constant problem with my strings.They alwayssss buzz and i can t stand it. The gauge of my strings are 120's and i m down tuned to D but i told the tech to try not to make the bass buzz any more but he didn't..now its like i m stuck...
Alse i raised the badass bridge as far as i could but it still buzzes a little bit.

anybody can help me pleaseeeee.

Thanks:)

Chris

I have a rattling Jazz problem right now, if I sweeze the saddles together with my left hand and play an open D as hard as I would max while playing it's pretty bad (I believe it's the frequency and not the string, it happens other places). Still trying to work that one out.
 
if string buzz on the upper neck, then neck is too straight, if that happens at the bottom - strings saddles are too low,very simple. what could also be is that "nut" holes are too big. get piece of paper underneath and it should be solved.
