I'm in no way an expert, but I've gotten pretty comfortable in doing setups, and I do so on all my basses. I've just noticed something that I haven't come across before, and just wanted to check if anyone has any ideas.

My action is set moderately low (I know this is subjective, I haven't actually measured yet), but I can play every single note on every string on my SR5 with no buzz whatsover. The only time I get a buzz (and it's a bad buzz), is if I fret the "B" @ the 7th fret on the E string while fretting the "D" on the 7th fret of the G string at the same time. I can fret any other combination of two notes on these 2 strings at the same time with no buzz, but that is the only combination anywhere on the bass that causes this buzz. I even tried moving my fingering around between the frets (i.e, closer to the 6th fret, midway, closer to 7th fret, etc) to no avail.

Any ideas?
