Help - have my bridge springs lost their sproing?!

Note that picture 1 is before, picture 2 is after....it is MUCH flatter to the body, although not flat as you suggest. I will look again (will be tomorrow again, sadly, as have another 200 emails to clear tonight #living the dream) - your point about snipping all the strings at once causing...

Help - have my bridge springs lost their sproing?!

All I followed the steps on tightening the claw screws and it has worked ....photos attached (Ive added the 'before' and 'after' in sequence). Action is lower too as hoped although this is harder to see in the photos. I just wonder whether the set put on thee (Elixir nickel plated steel) were...

Help - have my bridge springs lost their sproing?!

Thanks all for your views. I took the rear plate off to make sure that none of the springs had become detached - all were fully in place. I’ve always used 10s but maybe this brand involves a slightly different material which causes a greater tension to be applied. I’ll try adjusting the claw...

No, 10s. This is why I’m confused as I've changed strings on this guitar many times over the years, and pretty sure it’s always been 10s that have been used.

Strings likely quite old - guitar gets occasional use but maybe 3 or 4 years since last change. Also possibly a new brand too. I’ll try the suggested fix and report back in case it doesn’t sort as hoped. Cheers for chipping in, as ever.

Help - have my bridge springs lost their sproing?!

Hi there JoKeR III...thanks for responding so quickly. I am presuming you need to turn both exactly the same amount....could I end up putting the bridge out of kilter (or out of whack) if I don't do this correctly? How will I know when I've done this enough? Cheers G

Help - have my bridge springs lost their sproing?!

Hi all I've just changed my strings on my US Strat Standard (25 years old and well looked after - every part original as manufactured). The guitar before restringing was super stable in tuning with a nice medium action. As per the photos, having changed to new set of 10s, the bridge looks as...

Not defending that horror story - simply making the point about the quality of the output, and that an informed viewer can form a rounded view of any story by consuming critically. Don’t believe all you see and hear (And same goes for any media outlet globally). Cheers.

Not really. Vast majority is without any bias. And an intelligent viewer can filter what there might be.

How to apply different mixer settings in a single preset

@Bakerman and @unix-guy hi chaps - I used scene controllers to switch between scenes 1 and 3 and then two null filters to flip between these and the fourth row. Works really well, thank you for your guidance. Good weekends to you both. Gilesy

How to apply different mixer settings in a single preset

Thank you @Bakerman and @unix-guy - really appreciate your ideas. I've not used scene controllers, however given you both came up with this suggestion it would suggest this is the way to go. I'll give it a try this weekend. Bump for any other final thoughts from others.

All Serious blast from the last here…Swedish Chef created an excellent Boys Of Summer patch, which I have. As can be seen above, he recommends different mixer settings for the intro, verse and chorus. At the time, when this thread was new, Scenes had just been launched, and the folks thought...
