How do I know if my neck needs to be reset.

The action on my 4005 is very low, and the lower fret buzz. What are the corrective moves, and what should I look for to know if the neck needs to be reset?

I will cry if that's the case.

I need to have the bass in my hands to make a proper assesment!

When you say lower fret do you mean the ones near the nut or the ones near the body?

The low notes near the nut.

Personally, I would see my chiropractor for a neck issue such as that!
