slayer63636 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 i was watching the year and a half with metallica and i noticed that james guitars had foam either in between the tail piece and the bridge or after the nut. is there a reason for this? i also noiced that dimbag (RIP) had some foam after the nut.

Scott Rosenberger Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 It kills the extra vibrations after the bridge and before the nut. Alot of trem users stuff the trem cavity with foam/tissue to keep the trem springs from vibrating. (same principle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exafro Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I may be alone on this one, but I actually like my trem springs vibrating, adds a nice reverb like effect when playing unplugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 yes but when youre running a fully electrified, distorted guitar at insane volumes out 100's of speakers, that extra noise doesnt sound so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(same principle) Our dear friend Vai packs his trem cavity on EVO with tissue paper, deading the trem spring noise ~~ TS ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
