A couple of tremolo questions...


Hi there, I have a few questions which I just need cleared up by the experts (you dudes!)

1) Would replacing a TRS Pro (on a yamaha pacifica 821D) with an Official Floyd Rose Pro make that much of a difference- Would it keep me in tune much more and would it benefit my sustain/tone? (I already have FRP, and I asked Aidy at Soundcontrol in manchester- he said it wouldn't make much difference so I'm confused after reading opposite opinions in Ed romans place and the FR website)

2) Do more trem springs and less spring tension/ or same amount of springs with a different arrangement benefit tuning? Or does it work the other way or does it not matter?

3) My springs a much more flexible now than what they were a while ago- should I replace them?

4) If I did replace the trem, how would the 'feel' of the new trem differ to my TRS? Wud it be more sensitive, smoother, get more pull on it etc?

Thanks alot- and please answer my questions I'm kinda desperate as I have gigs coming up in the coming months :S (hardly eva gigged: quite young) and in my solos I do tend to use a mixture of Harmonics, Vibratos, *Divebombs and major pull ups*- so I need to be able to rely on my trem for tuning stability, and I do like to sustain notes too.
Because it's a trs *PRO* it wouldn't need any routing for the FRPro to go in except for the pivot screws would it?
If Aidy asks me why I want the FRPro puttin' in what should I say?

Thanks agen- sorry if this post dragged a bit :S
Regards
Jonny
