Alright, i've had people help me before, and quite frankly, i am just confused. Now, i love my bass, but right now it's starting to confuse me. I don't know why, but i get allot of fret buzz. Now, i don't play hard, but i get a buzz on the lower section of my bass. like frets 1-6. After that, nothing, unlessi pluck hard. now, i have been told to check my relief. ok, i can check it, which way do i go. When i got my bass it had alot of stress, like a high curve. and i checked it, and apparently it was too high. but now, i am like a buisness card hight, and i still get buzz!!! help me out here, i was thinking it could be a nut issue, cuz it's only my E and D, and i don't want to put to much stress on my neck...help me out please~!!!!

just wondering...?, ...have you had your bridge saddles radiused to match the curvature of the fretboard?..just a thought!

Saddle
It's not the saddle i need to adjust, i think that my frets may be a little high on my E on the lower register. Cuz i have to push down really hard on the 6th fret in order to not get it to buzz above the note i am playing. I have never had such a strange problem. Let me explain it to you.
If i play on the 6th fret, it buzzes on like the 3rd or fth fret. So it's closer to the head, and it's not the section i plucked. it sounds really strange, but that's my predicament. It thought it was the strings, but i changed them, and it's still there. I have tried to explain it to people, but everyone says it's the way i wound my strings, but i did it in the declining gashion, and behold!...that's the way i always thread my strings. I personally think it's a fret that is to high. That's what my friends thinks, and he's seen the problem, and he also puts together guitars. I don't know what to do, it's more of a nusance than anything. It's not very apparent through and amp though, i just want this thing to be flawless....yah know..
thnks for your help btw. but i have to get the ation to like 4mm before it goes away, and i think that's way to much.
btw, i'm not a bass tech guru, i just love to play.
