Setting up a jazzmaster

Mine buzzes like a fucker a got it off the bay a while back and didn't really bother to get it setup pro as I couldn't afford it.... but now I broke a string so I would kinda like to get it sorted out..... is there a way to reduce the buzzing without putting a buzzstop, or is a buzzstop a really good idea.....

If you've never setup a guitar before I imagine the Jazzmaster is a tough place to start....or is it easy?

Does this blog cover all the basics or is it a seaming pile......

I'm an ace setter upper in the South of England, but so can you be. I've always rated the setup tips here.

Thanks guy's thats given me an idea of what I need to do, needs to get myself some tape!

Also you didn't link it but your video Hurb about replacing a jag bridge with a mustang one really helped me understand what was what bits and bobs wise!

A mustang bridge is an easy fix. but the proper bridge works fine with a setup. don't give up.
