Slight head vibration on open E

I am new to bass playing and the current bass I am using (Ibanez SR500) has a small metallic 'ting' (metallic rattle almost) when I play an open E. Everything seems tightened. Is that something to be concerned about (as far as integrity of the bass?), I have not had experience with other basses so not sure if this is normal.
