steinar Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 why do I get more fretbuzz when I string through the body on my Skyline bass? Last time I put on new strings i decided to run them through the holes on the back instead of "normal". The E and A string got severe fretbuzz from the 12th fret and up. I tried to highten the strings, but it didn't help. Now I'm back to "normal" setup with no buzz. Sboe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geoff Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If you've got buzz from 12th fret up, it sounds as though you need to relax the tension on the truss rod about 1/4 to 1/2 a turn.

saxofunk Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 What G. Thomas said. I agree that you are looking at a truss rod or maybe saddle height adjustmnet. Buzz has nothing to do with the string going through-body or into the bridge - the string geometry from nut to saddles is a straight line either way. Did you change string guages? Brand?
