rattly truss rod (I think)

Have you tried giving the trussrod a gentle tweak to see if the rattle goes away? A one-way trussrod generally only rattles if it's loose - a small tweak to make sure it's engaged might be worth a try. Also worth checking that the rattle isn't coming from the tuners.

I had the same issue, tried everything and  narrowed it down to the truss rod. If I rapped my Knuckes on the neck you could hear it rattling. Unfortunately I sent it back to the shop to check out, they sent it back to Fender ( w/o my permission) and I lost the Bass. Tweaking the truss rod made no difference ( and it still worked) but I was prepared to inject some silicone down the channel to see if that would damp it yet not render the rod unusable. The other option was to tease out the central dot marker, carefully drill down to the rod and inject more silicone there too, fill and  then replace dot marker with a new one.
