Tremelo and Final Tour

[delboywww]

Hi All,
Can anyone explain to me about the easy mute tremelo please. Also does anyone know what wireless guitar system the Shads used on their Final Tour? Thanks Del

The easy mute arm is bent twice at a right angle. It bends to the right away from the bridge and then to the left so that it's parallel to the original line. This makes it much easier to mute notes.

I don't know what wireless system the Shadows used but I've got one of these and it's excellent

Thanks Len, most helpful and appreciate the reply.

They were originally designed for Hank Marvin, so he could use the tremolo while muting the strings with palm of his hand.
This is the most simple answer

Hi Len. I used the Xvive wireless system. It worked well for a few months. However, the battery in the sending unit failed after about a year (Of course, just out of the warranty period) I contacted the factory in China but they were not willing to give any assistance. The rechargeable battery can not be replaced by a lay person.

Like any product Dave, we're going to get failures now and then. You're the first person I've heard of who had a problem with it. I'll worry about it if it happens, I can't imagine they're all going to fail.

Hank used to use a Samson Concert wireless system in the earlier years, I purchased a Samson system but not the concert model in the early 90s, a bit pricey then. I think from memory my system was $750 and the concert models were a lot more, still use it now. Not sure of what Hank uses now, probably a chord for his gypsy jazz.

Hank used a Shure wireless link for the Reunited Tour.
