Help! NGD and question about said NG

[Klon Solo]

I managed to get the AL I was hunting for around the city. I finally have a pair of balls.

Anyhow, I noticed as I started playing it that the trem arm has a bit of give before it actually starts doing its thing. I swapped out the arm from my Luke to see if it was better - and it didn't make a difference.

Is there anything I can do here?

I think it's pretty much every bridge I've used with a screw in arm, at least unless it's so tight that you can't turn it either way without considerable effort. I've got the same issue on my Floyded Y2D.

It's not screw-in, its pop-in.

actually I don't understand the question

are you saying that when you have to push down the arm nothing is happening before a while? or that the trem is not rotating freely around its axis?

 

[DrKev]

He means that that the arm can move a little bit before the bridge moves. As Agileguy said, what you would expect on a screw-in trem like a vintage strat (except that this is not a screw-in).

That's my bad, I thought it was a screw in. I could have sworn I played a few MM bridges with screw in arms.

Thanks. I'll check into this when I get back to my desktop.

Yes, what DrKev is saying. There's just a bit of 'play' I'd like to get rid of.

as the trem is the same as on the luke I think it's just a bit of tweaking here and there good luck!
