2. What does the B-Stinger do for vibration?

The short answer is, it has Sorbothane (A synthetic material designed specifically to eliminate vibration) in the tube. The real answer is that by keeping the stabilizer bar both light and very rigid and placing the majority of the weight out near the end, your bow will no longer jerk violently in your hand when you shoot it. As a result you have a quieter shot and you can then focus dampening vibration at its source (i.e. the string, the cables, the limbs, and the cams). If you wanted your guitar to stop making noise every time you plucked the string, would you attach a 'stabilizer with rubber on the end' out on the headstock (the end) of the guitar? Of course not but that's exactly what were being told to do with our bows. If you want your guitar to hold still, attach it to something solid. If you want your Guitar to be quiet when you pluck the stings, attach a nice piece of vibration dampening material right at the source, the guitar strings. The same rules apply for our bows.
