How to loosen tremelo on Axis SS

[TwAn]

Hello,

I've got a little question about the vintage tremelo on my Axis Super Sport. (I think I read the answer somewhere before in this forum, but I can't seem to find it, sorry...)

The tremelo on the axis always stays in the position where you let go of it. Is it possible to make it fall down again as soon as you let it go... (I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say...)

I've tried to adjust the little screw on the back of the tremelo-block, but this only seems to adjust the height of the trem.

Thanks!!
TwAn.

If you push down on the trem arm and raise the trem off the body, looking at the back of the trem under the trem plate and right where the trem arm socket would be you'll see a little hex screw that runs perpendicular to the trem arm. If you loosen that, it should loosen up your trem arm some... How "floppy" it gets may depend on usage and wear - a new one may be such a good fit that it's not really "floppy" anyway, until you've yanked and banked on it for a few years...
