Give me some tention...


I got an rg370 with a edge pro II trem. (I got GAS but not the money so I'm doing what I can) .
My problem is when I bend ; the trem lifts-up. eg. I bend the G string 1 tone and the B goses down by a 1/4 tone. Is this normal?

I had 3 black springs back there so I figured, I need more tention to keep this thing from lifting up, so I added 2 more springs. Now I got 5 springs pulling down on the trem wich is by now, sitting dead hard inside the cavity! Well ... took out my phillips screw-driver, unscrewed the 2 thingies a bit and everything went back to normal and straight paralel to the body. So I'm back bending and testing and it seems better (seems ...) but not to my satisfaction. Again, is it just me or is it normal. Any comment on this is very welcome. Thanks. Mathieu.
