Fret buzz as a beginner

The issue persists when I don't put the finger right on the fret but slightly behind it, so I suppose it's the way I let it go. The concern may stem from the fact that beginner courses don't seem to address this

 

You are lifting off far too slowly. You  need to be more positive. The finger position makes it worse.

 

Any bass would buzz lifting the string slowly like that. 

 

I just tried three different basses - roundwounds, flatwounds and nylon tapewounds. I could get all three to buzz far worse than that by lifting slowly, and to sound cleanly with a positive lift.

 

So sorry, it's 100% technique - keep practicing.

They don’t. Try what @Stub Mandrel says above 

all will become clear - this is just a phase. All of this will be second nature in the very near future - I promise that

 

No one is born able to play bass guitar just like no one is able to drive instantly

If it's a double action truss rod.

 

Whether it's single or double action. Hold a spanner pointing to the left and then rotate it 180 degrees clockwise. Return it to the left and rotate it 180 degrees anticlockwise. What are the two finishing positions?
