First you need to determine if the problem is neck or fret related. Checking the neck is simple you sight down the neck and see if there is a warp or back bow this you would fix with the truss rod. If the buzz is only on one string check the individual height and you may be able to adjust either the bridge (easy) or nut (much harder)if all these check out you may have to dress the offending frets with a file which you shouldn't do unless you know what you are doing. Epi's are notorious for having a bad set up out of the box if you got it a a shop take it back and have them do it. If you not sure how to a store will general charge about 25 bucks for one and it is well worth it.<br><b>References : </b><br>30 years as a bassist DO NOT touch the truss rod if you don’t know what you are doing.
