Own Peavey Cirrus 5 BXP , Strings are to close to the frets.

I agree with Dan. I do all repairs, and setups at a store in the next town. The most important thing to know, when talking action, is "level frets". The action can only be set as low as the highest fret. Most players want their action set as low as possible without buzzing........The highest fret dictates how low that action can be set. The adjustments needed to be taken into consideration1. String height at the nut, 2. Level frets, 3. Neck relief as Dan stated, and 4. Bridge/saddle height. The string needs room to vibrate. Level frets make the action comfortable down the fingerboard without buzz. You need the proper tools to check for uneven frets, and they are expensive. Best left for the shop to do their job so you can just play!!. Hope this helps. Mike

If the problem you are having is buzzzing, yes. This height is called the "action" of the bass. You can change either or both the saddle and bridge. I would recommend that you have this examined at a music store to verify that the neck is straight and does not need adjustment too. This is part of normal upkeep for these. Expect an overhaul cost of about $50 if you have it adjusted.
