BFR JP6 Trem Bar Loose

[javacodes]

i have a BFR JP6 and i noticed that the trem bar is a bit loose. i mean after i use it, it normally just falls down and doesn't hold up. i see in vids that petrucci and other owners push it down just so it won't bother them with their picking after use. it becomes a problem for me when i try doing continuous trem flutters coz i have to also grab it up.

is this normal? or is there something i need to tighten up?

you should tighten it... see this post: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-guitars/26339-trem-block-allen-bolt.html#post403163

There is a very small hex head screw on the block. If you dive the trem you can see it just under where the bar inserts. Just tighten it up. A little bit goes a long way. I just did it on my JPX about a half hour ago.
