I'd look for the rattle elsewhere. Check that all the tuner buttons are tight, tuner mounting nuts are snug first.

Sheldon, thank you! I just checked all of that; screws, nuts, etc. Nothing is loose. The rattle goes away if I add slight pressure to the B right behind the nut, and just before it contacts the string tree. Thats what made me wonder if the tree needed to be lowered.

I appreciate you chiming in! Game changing basses here for me...

Does the rattle sound like the string intermittently strikes the first fret?

These have been posted a few too many times, but they're always happy to trot out for a curtain call:

I thought about that, I tried a small piece of paper in the nut slot and it's still happens. It only goes away with a little pressure on the string right before it hits the string tree. I wonder if its the string?

Its not a "metal" sounding rattle. More of a wub wub wub but really fast...

I’ve had it happen with a couple of B strings. Make sure your not getting excessive twist and try another B. Is this on the flats?

No, the Combustion with rounds. I do have another Dingwall B here I can try, great idea.

The TI flats are breaking in very nicely BTW.

Thanks, bro!

It's weird, Even though it was absolutely gorgeous and sounded like thunder, I don't miss the 6/3. I do miss the NG-3 though. That bass just punched!

My 4/3 and my 5/3 are just BEAST MODE! They kill every time I pick them up! They will be the starting pair this weekend, Spectors will get a little break. ;):thumbsup:
