Got the new bass, but a couple of issues!

I picked up my brand new Mint Green Stingray yesterday. I had been a GC for over a year, lots of demos on it, but it’s in fantastic shape.

I cleaned it up real good and put new Slinkys on.

I did my usual new bass set up check list and found a couple of problems.

I set the neck relief according to ernie ball and another site I use for bass set up. That was fine. I started to set string height…

E string: with the bridge set at its lowest, it wont go below 8/32. None of the strings will go below 7/32 at their lowest bridge setting.

There is extreme string buzz even at those heights past the 12th fret. I added more relief, the buzz is still there unless I raise strings to around 10/32.

If I flatten the neck out, I get buzz from around the 8th feet on.

This is the first bass I’ve ever had where I couldn’t get the strings to at least 3/32 across all strings…

Any help on this is appreciated. Or…does this need to be sent to EB since it’s a day old for me and should be under warranty.
