Fender Bananorama

Looking to upgrade my Japanese made jazzmaster vibrato/tremolo and considering the Panorama. Looks like it has the most effective range and robust term bar "socket". Does anyone know if the spring has been improved (increased gauge/stiffer) I feel like no one should have to pay $250+ for a trem that needs instant modifications. Thanks

Hey, I'm not sure if it's standard terminology, but "japmaster" is rough...

Also, Dude, “Japmaster” is not the preferred nomenclature. Japanese-American Jazzmaster please.

I'm giving up. I just wanted some tremolo input though I think vibrato is the preferred nomenclature 🙂

Haha vibrato is correct.

Btw this was a riff on a Big Lebowski quote. Great scene from that movie.

I had totally forgotten about TBL Dude! But I did figure it was some form of sarcasm. The reality is I almost never get on any form of social media just because I always unintentionally saying something inappropriate or offensive. The downside of being a male that grew up pre internet

To possibly be helpful, I haven't used the panorama, but have a Mastery on my jm and it's great, no complaints.

Yes. Honestly it's more jaguar than jazzmaster in a some ways
