Squier Affinity Issue - Anyone Else?

Well, I finally had time to go into the city where there's a music shop and picked up two packs of Ernie Ball Super Slinky's, threw a set on this morning after work and the buzz is gone. I did crank down the bridge screws when I had the strings off for the change, but they were already fairly tight.

Seems like the issue was the strings, as the buzzing appears to have stopped. I'll practice hard for a week and see if any issues recur with the new strings.

edit: I forgot to say, before hitting quick reply, thanks to everyone who chipped in in the thread with suggestions and advice. I appreciate it all.

A small drop of carpenter's glue on the ends of the screws will stop them from coming loose if the problem happens again.
