New Guitar/Bass Day

Post by bronzetalon »

Got this Eastwood Bass VI inspired guitar today....its really cool. Question, are jazzmaster trem arms friction fit only? Mine keeps falling out.

There were screw in jazzmaster vibratos on classic players, but they were kinda shitty. If you take the trem off, you can pinch the teeth the arm sits closer together for a more snug fit.

I know on Fender floating trems you have to push it in harder than seems safe.

next string change, take trem off the body. on the "b" side there is a collet that the arm goes into - GENTLY squeeze the little teeth in - just a bit, so it's snug. Insert trem arm, then put a zip tie around the collet as tight as you can get it - don't remove the arm. It's the sonic youth method.
