Stagg EUB - Rattle

[spikydavid]

I've recently bought a Stagg EUB and am having a small problem with it rattling. It's worse on certain notes, and there's nothing obviously loose. I can't tell if it's the peg being a bit loose (it's at about half extension) or something else loose in the body cavities

Any particular things I should be looking for? Or do I just need to tighten the peg like crazy?

a thin bit of padding around the inside of the end pin hole, gotta go in through the panel on the back while the pin is full up

I used gaffer tape, tearing lengths into thin strips about 1cm wide, then wrapping enough around the end of the spike inside the cavity until the gaffer tape fitted snugly when the spike was extended. That took a lot of the rattles & squeaks out.
