My bass has suddenyl developed a rattle, and the weird thing is, it only seems to happen when the bass is touching me if you like.
Say if i put my bass upright hold the top of the neck and play its fine, but if the body is in contact with me it rattles, only seems to be at the bridge pick up as well not so much the neck...
Yeah, I was thinking loose strap-lock components maybe?

Maybe be way off base but I had a truss rod rattle once. Slight bit of adjustment and it went away. Slight tap or knock on back of neck and you could hear it rattle.
ive had a look at the locks and they they are fine, it seems as soon as i touch the neck it rattles, and its worse on the D and G string! its just suddenyl happened today... i guess it must be the truss....
Try checking the machine head gear screws had it happen once to me went crazy trying to find out had to have someone else play so I could pin point it.Screw had backed out just enough to rattle the washer!
it souns as if its coming from the body or even the pickup ill check that definetly tho
Open the cavity & see if something has come lose?
