Hi Jake. I presume you've lowered your saddles at the bridge and now have buzz from the frets? Then you've made that action too low, I'm afraid. Take a look at the setup guide to find how to return it to factory specs:

You can get away with lowering the action a bit from those specs, but bass strings need plenty of room to vibrate so it ain't ever going to feel like a shredder's guitar.

It's just the nature of the beast.

Cheers - C


Time for a fretless neck perhaps? Jaco loves 'em!
