Is the plastic collar still inside the cap ?

RGA7620 · #3 01-31-2009, 10:15 AM

Ah that could be it theres nothing inside the cap when i remove it

Hm.. Same happened to me when I bought my S5470. The arm wouldn't tighten at all and it would be all wobbly.

It was after I returned it and got a replacement that Rich informed me about the little washer in the cap :P

Ah cool is it just a washer if so ill find something that will work

its a plastic collar with a notch in one side and a split down the other, bevelled on one edge so that when you push it down, it constricts and places tension on the bar.

I doubt you'll be able to find anything similar from anyone but ibanez/rich

RGA7620 · #7 02-01-2009, 12:37 PM

Ah thanks ill get in touch with Rich then

scotteggshell · #8 02-03-2009, 05:01 PM

RGA7620 · #9 02-03-2009, 08:10 PM

Any officially licensed lbanez store should be able to get you the parts. Cost a lot and from what I've heard there is a freaking 6-month wait on some parts but Rich is not the only option. Just a good one.

Rich · #11 02-03-2009, 11:32 PM

If I don't have them then they're on back order, and nobody else does, or will, until I do.

AxeHappy · #12 02-04-2009, 01:40 AM

Which is why you're a good option. But still not the only one.

Or you could just return the whole guitar.

That's what I did

I just told them the arm wasn't tightening they went to the back and gave me a completely new one.

But this was within the 30-day return period. Don't know what happens after that.
