    Low, Dull, and Distorted Noise From Bass

    Hi, I'm new to electronics and repairs; so please pardon me if at any point I don't know how to do something deemed trivial to most.

    I've been having some trouble with my Hofner 500/1 in that it has a very large rattle around the Tailpiece when the e string is played?
