New Mahalo Solid Body Bass Uke - HELP!

Hi all,

happy to be pointed in the direction of a specialised U bass thread - tried to search to no avail.

I have just got a new Mahalo solid body ukulele bass, it's so damn fat sounding, amazing!

Only downside, the A string has a fret buzz at all positions. Doesn't matter where I play, there is buzz. It can be heard in the amp too, thanks to the sensitive piezo.

The E and D strings have no buzz, so I don't think it's high frets. I've tried adjusting the truss, raising the bridge, still buzzes. Shimmed the nut slot with paper, still buzzes.

WHAT COULD IT BE? Help would be appreciated, :)

Thanks, Ciaran
