cool. looks in good condition.

2 questions. 1) about the thread: is this plastic on metal or metal on metal, important because of the wear factor 2) what's the rubber monster-thingy on the right? ;-)

JJ,

Sorry, the pic is a little blurry, but it is metal on metal where it threads. And, the rubber piece goes on your edge trem block as a small bumper. It isn't necessary to use it, and you'd have to hot glue it back on becaus ethe sticky stuff is dead on it now. But, most people I know prefer to use it, so I figure I'll include it since I have it.

Here's a couple of scans of the manual from Ibanez Rules, it'll show you everything about it:

Would you ship it for 100$ to Germany? That's unfortunately all i can spend this month. Is there any kind of insurance (if the package gets lost)? 100$ is a lot of money for me right now (i'm a freelancing music teacher :-), but i really need this tremsetter. Have the rockinger unit in my guitar, but it makes to much noise...

thanks

thanks, phlame. that would not help. the noise is coming from the piston moving to the side (clearence is too big). I have no problems with resonance from the springs (i think :-)
