What's that sound ?

[Crunchy Wacko]

Well, I took a visit to Fret.com and with the info there it sounds like my neck needs releif.

"
Buzz in low frets only:

If there is terrible buzzing only in the lower portions of the neck, from the nut to the fifth or seventh frets, then I can presume there isn't enough relief, or that there's a "backbow" to the neck and fingerboard. The cure is to loosen the rod to allow more relief."

Although I can't see any bowing when I look straingt down the neck..who knows.  I'll stop in at 12th Fret tomorrow and get their opinion.  Will also consider new strings also.

Thanks guys

Final Resolution:

Stopped in at 12th Fret in Toronto and they agreed it just needed a neck adjustment. 1/4+  turn counter clockwise has given the 11th - 12th fret a little more room and problem has just about dissappeared. I might give it one more adjustment in a few days.

Always look for the simple things first! ..but thanks everyone for all the great suggestions...cheers
