Question What's the annoying sound my trem makes when I use a flutter?

[That Guy]

Whenever I use a flutter (maybe that's not grammatically correct) I get a sound like the trem arm is bouncing around inside really fast. I know that the JP is the push in type, but how do I get rid of it?

Never heard of that problem. Contact customer service and they'll set you straight.

yeah, it's not a "problem", it's a correct sound. However, there are several ways to deal with that sound, including the way Tommy mentioned, basically all centered in the trem spring cavity area.

Its funny Luke and Jeff Beck use that as a crazy great effect...The trem is doing its job..its moving Foam will take care of it.

OR you can put a 2" piece of rubber tubing inside the spring it stops the ringing of the spring ~quick and easy fix!

Have you tightened the screw that holds the bar in place? That might ensure that your bar is not moving in the socket.
