MoonBassAlpha Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi all doin a quick truss rod adjust for a mate on an old black Musicmaster. Trying it through an amp, I found it is quite quiet with tone wide open (on 10) and buzzes a bit as you wind it down. If they all do this I won't bother even opening it up, but I can't see why it should. IME you usually get more buzz wide open. It has recently been looked at for having the output re-attached (not by me!) Any informed comments gratefully received.

redstriper Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 They don't all do that - I played a '76 recently and there was no buzz wherever the tone was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks dude. S'pose I'll have to pop it open then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XylemBassGuitar Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Weird...maybe try hitting the tone pot with some pot cleaner? There might be some corrosion at its lower end causing buzz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ah well, I had to give it back before I got down to looking at that. She was very happy with the truss rod adjustment I did though, and gigs wait for no man, or woman. Next time I get at it I'll have a look and report back!
