    Yea, there's a culprit. Just gotta get down there and put your ear next to it. Other possibilities are the inside of a lug rattling or it may be rattling something that's nearby.

    It also might be setting off the snares on your snare drum. Low frequencies 'll do that. Tune the bottom head of your snare tighter and it will probably take it away. (If that's what's going on.)

    Do you have a head on the front of your bass? and is there a hole in it? If so sometimes you can get a buzz coming from the material around the hole. They do sell a foam muffler for the front hole in bass drums. I also had this and only noticed it bad when I mic'd it up. The foam fixed it.
