Hey! Where can I get one of these? I hate tuning the floating trem since I'm just starting out, and I don't use the whammy much anyway. I might not sell my Jem Jr (no jokes, please) for a while if I can get the thing in tune easier and keep it that way! I'm thinking this would be way cheaper than buying a RG421. And I get to keep my monkey grip!

Tough pice to come by as [afaik] they only shipped with a few Jem10's. In essence they can be pricy since they "complete" a Jem10 package.

I just noticed that this site (on the link I posted) said they also come with 7WVHs and BSBs.

Why the heck wouldn't Ibanez sell them seperately? If you going to make them, make them AVAILABLE! I think I'll email them right now! Of course if their support is about the same as Tama's (both owned by Hoshino) I'll NEVER get an answer.

A couple did come out of cases with VWH's or BSB's, probably about as many that didn't come with Jem10's. It wasn't "available", it was part of the 10th package.

My BSB came with one. The sales person mentioned the price, which was pretty expensive (over 40€ if I recon correctly), so they probably sold separately also.

I have no idea what 40€ converts to in US $, but if it's not too much and you can get one, I would gladly pay you for your trouble.

If you don't find one in that bin of yours I have one.

Rich · Jul 12, 2002

Our pal at Hoshino is looking into if they're still being manufactured.

Hey! Would one of these things go into a Universe? Yeah, I know, I just won't quit, will I? :?

Yes.

Glen: Well do you still have one for sale?

jemsite · Oct 28, 2002

i checked a while back and forgot to post. i can verify tonight, but i believe i have ONE in my parts bin. If you have exhausted all options for finding one, drop me a PM. Since Rich said they'd be "pricy" lets get him to set the cost. LOL

I'll take one too. PM me if you have one, and let me know the price :wink:

Scott 74 · Oct 30, 2002

Seriously if you do I'll take it, or if someone knows how I can make one or what they recommend I'd appreciate it :wink:

if you dont want your trim to float use a peice of wood and wood screws. The unfloating block is just steel and wood screws

Where can I get the JEM unfloating block thing?
