isteen Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 My E string is buzzing due to the angle on the string between the saddle and the tuner - and to avoid that I would increase that angle, so I ordered an original Fender String Retainer to increase the angle between the tuning mechanism and the saddle. That don't fit on a Mustang - so do you have a solution? I will have to increase the string angle https://m.thomann.de/gb/fender_stealth_string_retainer_bass.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Not sure about a Mustang but on a Precision two and a half (or towards three) winds round the tuner is enough to give a workable break angle on the E string. In my experience, the retainer you link to is more commonly used for the A string where even three winds can be insufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Squiers have a 'bar' retainer on the 5 string jazz, that type of thing may work but it means drilling 2 holes in the bass...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
