Fender American Stealth Bass String Retainer Chrome

Cleaner Bass String Break Angle Without Extra Mounting Holes

The Fender American Stealth Bass String Retainer in Chrome is a genuine Fender replacement part designed to help prevent string buzz on compatible bass guitars. It increases the break angle from the tuning key to the nut, giving the selected string greater downward tension for a more secure fit at the nut.

This retainer can be used on the B, E or A string, making it useful when those heavier strings need extra downward pressure to sit cleanly and respond more consistently. The design replaces the washer on the tuning machine, so no additional mounting hardware is required.

The Chrome-plated finish suits compatible Fender bass hardware, and the retainer is used on most American Deluxe and Dimension bass guitars. It also fits American Deluxe and American Elite four and five-string basses.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this retainer suits bass players and repairers chasing a cleaner nut break angle on compatible Fender basses, especially when the B, E or A string is buzzing, lifting too easily at the nut, or needs better seated tension from the tuner.
