Members Kentrel Posted September 30, 2009 Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 I tend to leave it far too long before changing strings which is why I don't come across this problem so often. But I just changed them and I'm getting more buzz than usual from the Low E and A. I've checked, and everything seems to be fine, except the way I wrap strings on the tuners tends to be a little amateurish. The strings have no problem staying in tune, so not sure what else to look for. Like before I only get this problem shortly after changing strings. After a few days or a week it tends to go away.

If all at once it could be the neck relaxing and bringing an already low action lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a mixture really, because some necks relax instantly while others don't even budge during an "all strings off" string change.

Members Kentrel Posted September 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 I change them all at once, so you might be right about the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seagullplayer77 Posted September 30, 2009 Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have no idea what causes this phenomenon, but it happens to me too. Regardless of whether I change the strings individually or all at once, I usually end up with a few that buzz. Lasts for maybe a day or two, and then it goes away. Just one of those flukes, I guess .

Members Gary Palmer Posted September 30, 2009 Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 A bit conceited are we, Gary ? Anyone who disagrees with you is probably wrong and a liar, right ? Below the belt a bit there weren't you. Try aiming higher, but there again you added nothing to what was a genuine attempt at helping resolve a problem so I suppose that says something. The problem areas I'd listed are the most common sources of this problem. There are more, but the simplest ones are the commonest faults and best eliminated in the hope of resolving the problem before delving deeper. Hence the reason behind my saying there's a good chance I'm right.It'd be a bit cack handed of me if I offered ding-bat suggestions along the lines of "Just one of those flukes I guess".

Alot depends on the neck stiffness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was jerking your's too. I just thought it'd help if I explained a little more regarding the problem at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
