<html> <body> I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the possibility of the buzz being a bass sting winding being slightly loose. I've heard that many times.

Get out your bottle of C/A glue, and apply. I have never seen a 9lb sledge, but that probably would be a bit too heavy. :-) Regards, John M.
