Hi,

I am finding the bridge to be to "soft" (ie, I am knocking the strings out of tune) when I play with the default 2 springs installed with gauge 9 strings.

I've added a3rd spring to the middle and I notice that I have to back the screws out quite a bit to do get the bridge level again.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are the screws going to be long enough to loosen them to the point where I can get the trem level?

Also, how much of the trem "warble" effect will I lose?

Thanks to Anyone who responds.
