I was thinking about just doing one string at a time to keep the tension (?) :-|

[QUOTE=g°®†;17746271]I was thinking about just doing one string at a time to keep the tension (?) :-|[/QUOTE]

id highly suggest blocking the trem regardless. its not hard. trust me i was scared of changing strings as well on my first trem but its a lot easier than you would think.

I don't see why people block their trems. I really hate that I like the sound of D'Addario strings over those of Ernie Ball though, the EB strings always seem to be nicer to me. D'Addarios take forever to make happy when it comes to stretching.


Anyways, the point was that blocking your trem to switch your strings does nothing. As your old strings are old, probably a little less tight than your newer strings will be, and the new strings will hopefully be the same tension as the old strings when they were new.


Though lets face it, if the strings you are replacing on a floater aren't the same brand/size as the old ones you have to set the b[size=2]i[/size]tch up for them. Though when you do it right, and you can do 2 step bends and have your strings come back perfectly in tune it is worth it.


Case in point, my RG570 loves me right now and my RG1570 doesn't. I thought it was happy, but apparently the string/spring tention isn't perfect and my low strings still want to go out of tune.

if u stretch them properly they dont lose tension. if they did theyd go flat. but then u tune them up again. so they dont.

is there any other way to tune ur guitar than the right way.

what? if u have a floating bridge, all ur strings will go flat when u bend on string. bc when u bend a note up, it pulls the bridge towards you. it takes getting used to but its not that big of a deal.

hmmm ... so I went to remove the locking mechanism thingy on the nut ... I unscrewed it, but the block won't come off?


any ideas?


ah .. it's the string holder locking bolt that's snugly stuck on the nut. I don't know how to get it off. I unscrewed the screw using an allen wrench.


:-\

Are you not speaking of blocking your trem, tuning/stretching your strings, then unblocking it?


[QUOTE=TriggerNYC;17746701]

[/QUOTE]

Well if we are talking about a floater here, which isn't set up properly because you blocked the trem while tuning/streching. Actually when you stretch your strings if their is too much tension from the springs on the bridge they'll go sharp.

You'd be surprised what people come up with.

... the spring/string tension isn't perfect. So when I do a bend it is the same as if I was stretching the strings, and they go flat because their is too much spring tension.

I was just mentioning the wound strings are being little b[size=2]i[/size]tches about it, while the unwound ones are not.

wut? You took out the allen wrench bolts and the locking trem part fully, or did you just loosen them?

[QUOTE=motogrifo;17747277]ONLY you? =([/QUOTE]

Nah, he forgot me.

LFD. u need to take ur guitars to a tech, and have him explain FRs to you. bc u are confused. or you are bad at english. i dont thin ktgats the case bc i normally think u kinda have a grasp on language, but nothing uve sed so far about FR trems made any sense. do you maybe have a wilkinson trem? or are ibanez Edge pro's/IIIs/Zeros that different from OFR and LFR?

idk man, ur confusing the **** out of me, i cant understand wtf ur talking about. strings go flat ALWAYS bc ur moving the bridge towards u by pulling strings. there is no way around this. just get used to it. im used to it, moto is almost used to it. he hates it tho.

strings ALWAYS go flat when u stretch them. always. its ****ing science dude.

n yes i was talking about blocking ur trem. n u were talking daddario vs ernie ball out of ****ing nowhere. i think ur out of ur element.

No.

[QUOTE=TriggerNYC;17747389]LFD. u need to take ur guitars to a tech, and have him explain FRs to you.[/QUOTE]

This is why one of them is perfect, yet the other is fighting me. I know what I'm talking about, you just don't understand it apparently. Just block your trems for good and you don't have to worry about spring/string tension ever. I mean it is the basic concept of a floating bridge, but you seem confused.


Though think of it this way, when you stretch your strings it takes the pressure off of the bridge. When the springs have a greater tension than the strings, the springs will pull on the strings and cause them to go sharp. When the strings have a greater tension than the springs, the strings will go flat yet the bridge will physically move up. When the spring tension = string tension, you do a bend or anything and the string will go back into tune when you unbend.


Currently my RG570 is happy, i.e. spring = string tension. I'm still "dialing in" my RG1570, every time it seems to be happy the next day it turns out it isn't.

yeah ... took out the screws completely, and the locking nut thing won't come off ... not for the E B, G D, or A E.

Can someone paraphrase what's going on I'm not reading all that LFD crap

[QUOTE=Sad But True;17747481]Can someone paraphrase what's going on I'm not reading all that LFD crap[/QUOTE]

floyd rose problems. just guessing though. :lol:

Probably women troubles or exams or some such bollocks.

So lod, I need to go and move my car because it's currently situated outside someone's house at the moment. See I had to park it there because I came back from my parent's house to my uni accommodation at about 3pm, completely forgetting it was a school day! Why is this pertinent you ask? Because the road leading to my accommodation is not only very narrow, but also has a primary school located on it. So Not only could I not get a parking space on the road by my place, but I had to negotiate my way through children and parked cars to dump my car somewhere just so I could get inside.

But anyway I really should go and move my car before it gets dark but I'm also really hungry having only eaten a bowl of Sugar Puffs today because there was no decent food in at my parent's house. So I'm kinda torn between moving my car or making some food, but then after eating I have to do revision for exams I've got coming up; early modern europe and reading literature. But they're not till friday and wednesday so I might revise later and just chow down for now. But it's getting dark so I should go move my car.

These exams are really annoying, I hate unseen exams. I mean I know they're better for telling whether a student is actually any good rather than just regurgitating what they've revised but in some ways it's unfair to people who don't work well under pressure. Exams exams college college something something girls Ibanez college something something.

Oh great.


The story about his wife, Renee. It's actually pretty sad.
She cleaned out her bank account and sold all her stuff in order to finance this nutbags Daytona dream.

I can't think of two things I could possibly care less about than religion and NASCAR. Luckily that guy put them in the same place so I only have to avoid one website.

Holy s[size=2]h[/size]it (pun intended) I've just read the section about his wife and basically it seems he convinced this woman to marry him because 'God said so', then sold off/gave away all her possessions to fund his NASCAR dream because 'God said so', sent her 15 year old daughter to the Philippines as a missionary, became a hobo for 4 years and basically ruined this woman's life because 'God said so'.

hahaha

I hate those religious nutters with a passion. If they only ruin their own life it's ok, but for ****'s sake, sending a 15 year-old girl to the Philippines alone, thats just stupid.
