AndrewJordan Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 [quote name='CletePurcel' timestamp='1457276627' post='2996936'] Thanks for the help. It does/didn't buzz when I played open or at last fret. The neck is slightly concave which I guess is what it should be. It is a bit colder in the room today - could it be temperature related? [/quote] Ok well it does sound like fret buzz then. Yes it should be slightly concave. How concave depends on a number of factors such as string guage, playing style etc. Yes temperature will have an effect. An instrument will quite often go out of tune when taken from a warm place to a cold place and vice-versa due to materials expanding/contracting. When I get to a gig I like to get my bass out of the case to aclimatize while we set the gear up. I would recomend getting it set up properly by someone who knows what they are doing. You shouldn't need the G string higher than the others to stop fret buzz. Its not a situation I could live or play with. A pro will sort this easilly or tell you if there is some other problem causing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
