MIA Fender Jazz Bass string rattle when plucking by bridge.

Hello!

I have a 2012 MIA fender jazz bass that has some kind of rattle on the E and A string when I pluck by bridge pick-up. There seems to be no rattling (or less audible) when I pluck by the neck. Moreover, the rattling gets worse as I go towards the bridge. I don't hear the rattle when I play the guitar through an amp.

I am not sure if I had this problem all along but I noticed it AFTER I adjusted pick-up and bridge height. And now, no matter how I adjust my pickup/bridge saddle, I can't make the rattling go away. Also, it seems like it is very difficult to make the saddle parallel to the body when just using an eye balling it.

I tightened every screws on guitar and the problem still occurs. I have changed the string as well. I have adjusted truss rod with the capo on 1st fret while using the .012 feeler gauge. But again, it seems like I have noticed this problem after messing with the height of pickup/bridge saddle.

Is this supposed to be a normal thing with guitars that have "two legged" saddles or does mine have a problem?

Thank you guys!

 

Hello, it is on both open AND fretted noted. But it does seem a little louder when I fret the notes.

 

The problem still occurs when I pick lightly. Regarding your question, I have lowered the bridge, following the number on Fender's website. I tried raising them again but the rattling is still there.
