Hi giacomo.
Can you post a picture of the neck relief? It could be the neck, or the truss rod, or the height of the bridge, or all of them.
Hopefully, the truss rod can still be adjusted, or the neck tilted in the pocket with a bit of sanding! With a bolt-on neck there are a few options available.
PitBull Builds: FVB-4, LP-1SS, FBM-1, AG-2, TB-4, SSCM-1, TLA-1,TL-1TB, STA-1HT, DSCM-1 Truckster, ST-1, STA-1, MBM-1, MBM custom, GHR-1 (Resonator), FH-5V (Acoustic), DMS-1 (Mustang).
Scratch Builds: Pine Explorer, Axe Bass, Mr Scary, Scratchy Tele's.
The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
So I unscrewed the neck, sanded a bit the lower back part that touches the body and mounted all again, after a few days it got better, the neck settled a bit more and now there is a small buzz only in the first and second fret in low A and D strings but you can't hear it when you plug it to the amp - here some pics:
Truss-rod is still untight almost to the limit, if I push the first and last fret to check the neck relief the low E string touches the frets until the 6/7th fret after there is less than a mm of room, I think I'll leave it like that by now, looks like it works and it's playable, I am afraid of doing some damage.
I also rised the pickup a bit with some small cardboard shims in the right side (high strings side) because the volume was too low.
