can't get floyd rose to stay in tune (UPDATE)

[HTH AMPS]

after this thread, I ended up taking it to a tech locally but it sat there for five weeks and nothing got done (he was backed up with work). 

anyway, I ended up taking it back without getting any further with this, but I changed the springs in the trem cavity to four new ones (in place of the three in there before).

it appears to be behaving at the minute, so touch wood its been a cheap fix (£1.00 for the springs)

Have you tried a trem stabiliser.

I put the Goldo Back box on my edge and it keeps it absolutely solid even after loads of abuse.

thats all it is. Fits between your springs and works like a charm really cheap too.

what does this 'do' ???

I still want to be able to use the trem both up and down.  To be honest, its not even an issue now - I've been playing the Mockingbird again today and it's rock solid.  Just goes to show, something as basic as the springs were at fault (nice one Jonathan at Feline for suggesting this, take a bow).

basically it returns the trem to a fixed point after use so it always goes back perfectly into tune.

You still have complete use of the trem and it doesnt change the feel too much.

there are reviews of all the variants that have come and gone and there advantages/disadvantages on here
