Fender Stealth String Retainer

[Rodders]

I've been thinking about getting one of these for my US P bass for a while, the only place that sells it for a price I would pay is Thomann, but you've then got the £10 shipping fee and I don't really need anything else expensive enough to get it to the free shipping level. 
Anyone have one fitted to their bass? Is it worth having? I'd be putting it on the A string to try and get rid of the weird rattling overtone noise.

I put these on my US Fenders, they certainly work and they give me peace of mind when changing strings that I`m not going to end up with a rattler. I may well have one that I`m not using, if interested PM me and I`ll check when home from work.

That would be awesome Lozz, PM incoming!

These only work with tuners that have screw-in bushings as opposed to push-in bushings don't they? I'd probably try one if I had a bass thay'd work with, but I believe the issue they fix can also be resolved by leaving the cut string long enough to ensure that the number of winds around the post is sufficient to push the last wind as close to the wood of the headstock as possible.

Correct……they anchor by replacing the washer under the threaded cylinder shaft of tuner. I added one to the B string of an American Professional P5 and it cured an annoying rattle. Pricey for what they are though!
