"Rattling/buzzing" Open String - Sorted

So I changed my strings yesterday, cut them as usual to 4"/10cm as advised so as to have 2 windings on the tuning peg. And the E was making a rattling/buzzing noise when played open. So checked anything that could rattle and I couldn`t find it.

Read up on Talkbass about similar issues - they seemed to have more than on here, which shows the UK is leading the way in un-rattly basses, which is nice - and a few posts on there re similar issues said on Fenders cut the strings at about 6"/15cm to allow for 3 windings on the tuning peg. So I followed this today, and rattle/buzz gone, problem sorted.

Just thought I`d put this up in case anyone else encountered any similar problems.
