You can try loosening the rod slightly first but if there's no joy then check the frets for damage and maybe try new strings.
I may be totally wrong though and if a wee tweak fixes it then sweet.
Check the frets with a Fretrocker tool.
For a face forward fall, the first things that would have hit the floor are the E string machineheads and/or the nut.
Haven't changed the strings yet, though, I'll look at those and then the frets
It's a bolt on neck, you see, so there's some very slight margin for movement. Hence my first thought was for truss rod.
I will look at the other things too, as suggested.
The neck heel could have shifted in the pocket.
As soon as I fret the strings, the buzzing disappears.
And I think I've also deafened a spider - after I'd given the strings a good strum, and was looking at it, a spider started climbing out of the body through the soundhole, took one look at me and went back inside. Daft bugger, what does it think it's going to catch in there?
And yes, it does seem like a dodgy nut after all, one way or the other.
I'd check round the neck/body joint for any small cracks in the lacquer.
Hope it's OK.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

or perhaps the block under the bridge or even some of the kerfling?
