Double Bass Serious Fret Buzz Problem in G and D Strings

[fankitonkizonki]

Hi! I am a newbie of double bass and have a serious fret buzz problem in G and D strings. I recorded 2 videos to show what the problem is. The distance between G string (and D too) and keyboard is so close. At higher notes in G string, there is only the fret buzz sound, not the note. Could you please tell me the issue with the simple terms and images? Because I am not into the terminology of string instruments. Thank you!

This happens when push g string (distance is so close!)


these are photos of the bridge:




and these are the other photos (you can look if something techinally wrong)

For starters, your bridge appears to be misaligned, and that may be all there is to it. Shift the bridge toward the treble side.

thank you so much! how can I do it and what is that means actually?

1. Loosen the strings a bit (maybe a full step).
2. Grasp the bridge carefully and nudge it toward the f-hole on the G-string side of the bass. You may want to measure the distances from each f-hole to the bridge; they should be equal or very close to equal.
3. Make sure the bridge is still perpendicular to the top plate of the bass.
4. Retune.

Very good advice. I would however judge the placement from the strings. The E and G string should be an equal distance from their respective sides of the fingerboard. And we are only talking about moving it some millimeters.
