jazz bass problems

[UncleToby]

I need help or advice. I got a mim jazz bass which is a hand me down i got for free. I setup the bass myself with the help of youtube and i set the neck and string action pretty nice. But i got this problem on the 12th frets onwards. The notes are dead like "twat twat" dead.

Iam looking for luthiers or someone who can point me to a direction.

Hey,

Try raising the saddles a bit. You may have to tweak the truss rod again after this.

It actually works. Gave me a scare. Thank you for that top tip. Cheers

Your neck is probably too bowed. You might want to tighten the truss rod and straighten the neck a little.
