Thanks for everyone's help. There is a lot of wisdom here! I used a little bit of all the tips and the bass is fixed. The biggest help was using a straight edge. After adj. the truss rods and nut a bit I still had a little buzz (no joke intended). Using the straight edge I found out that the 6th fret had come unseated just a bit on the G string side. Looks like it might have gotten caught on a polishing cloth or something. Anyway, one little tap with a hammer & popsicle stick combination and it's as good as new.I'll post some px of my 83 spoiler now that i can finally put the truss rod cover on. Thanks for all the help.
