The fret buzz is back on my F-254 bass, and it really shouldn't be.
Ive taken it back TWICE to the ESP/LTD dealer that I bought it from, and both times their tech didn't sort it :mad: So, taking advise from other people, I took it to a place called The Bass Centre, who have been dealing and repairing bass guitars for 25 years now, so they seemed like the best place to take my bass.
I paid £30 to have my bass set-up again. Their tech adjusted the action, the truss rod, he leveled the frets (a couple were a bit high) etc etc. It cured the problem! HUZZAH! :D My bass was playing be-a-utifully!
But now, the buzz is back, and I can't figure out what is causing it! Ive read a load of articles on guitar problem, and the signs to look for, but the neck looks fine to me (not dead straight, but just a slight bend), there is no loose frets, the action is at a good playing height...
Im starting to consider getting my £475 back from the shop, because I really cant be bothered to keep travelling to London to attempt to sort the problem out! If anybody has any suggestions as to what the buzzing could be please tell!
