Recently I went and got my Musicman Sub setup for like $50 wiht new strings. Weh I picked it up it now buzzes alot, and because he put a different gauge the new strings are now smaller so on the A and G strings it raddles because the smaller string is raddling against the sides of the nut. Will that file itself down in time? Including is the buzzing a result of new strings? Will it go away in time? Or did I get ripped or is this the way it always is with new strings and crap? Thnk you.

IMHO you got ripped. Whoever did the setup sucked a$$. If you pay that much for a setup you should expect perfection :eek:

Edit:
And no, it won't fix its self over time...

when i play with my fingers its o k, but when I use a pick it buzzes bad. I should get it fixed for free right? I took it to a place that a friend of mine really recommended. Can't remember the name.

It can be fixed right? I mean It's not permanent or it can only get worse, when it comes to my bass I'm a perfectionist. I ask him to set it up more for funk slap and popping. it sounds good for that but not or everything else.

Shouldn't be anything permanent.

Bass nuts are cheap...the other kind are 1 pair per person per existence.
