OK, I was just downstairs with my MIM J, and had a minor brainstorm. Well, drizzle, maybe. Ok, more light a fog, but here's what I remembered: The E & A strings don't have a lot of break angle over the nut. I have to remember that I need to wind 2 or 3 wraps around the tuner post to force the string down far enough to avoid rattling, just like the E/A strings on my tele.

Happens on my P bass, as well.
