Hi there!
Since a couple of months, when I play the low B, there's a kind of rattling.. drriiinng :roll:
It only occurs when I play the low B idle. As soon as I play a fretted note, there's no noise. If I tune it down half a note or up.. no noise either. If I tune it down with the Hipshot d-tuner (so low A), no noise. If I let tuned with the d-tuner on A, and then tune up manually to B... guess? Noise!
So WTF! Is there someone living in my Streamer who doesn't like low B's?
I didn't use other string gauges. It even occured sometimes with the first ever string set. Didn't play with the trussrod, bridge or nut.
Since I read somewhere here on the forum, that the brass nut could generate some kind of noise, I raised it a little. But the noise is still there. The string doesn't accidentally touch the frets when played idle.
When I push the string down between the nut and the machinehead, the noise stops!
So any, really any help is much appreciated.
Have a nice sunday!
