i just floated my bridge on my Sub1. is there anything i should know? will the guitar still hold in tune as well as it does now, will it change the action, etc..... thanks guys
 
If you loosened your springs to float the bridge, you will probably notice out of tune notes when bending (bending one string while fretting another). Your action shouldn't be affected much, it might be slightly raised.

Keep in mind, when you break a string w/ a floating trem, every other string will go out of tune. So, change your strings often!! (preferably w/ EB Slinkys) :)

As far as tuning stability, I don't think you should notice too much of a difference. Do the SUBs come w/ locking tuners?
 
yep they do. and it holds in tune as well as my Ib@nez with a floyd rose when you beat on the bar
