That good enough?

Just screw it in until it starts stopping. Not super night, but so that it stays in place. Or, you can screw it in and leave it loose.

try that, loose the strings and try to screw it

lol are u screwing the right place, just screw enough, lol. how often do u screw it, after work? after going iver to a buddies house, at a bar lol.

You put it in the hole on the bridge closest to the Cable input. Just turn it around like 3-4 times and it's good, it will be loose, but It's easier to use.

I tried that..It doesnt make a diffrance in the sound

It has nothing to do with the sound (technically speaking).

Strum the strings, and press the bar down a bit. Hear the lowered pitch?
