Well actually to me blues has limitless tones.If that is what you are trying to clarify here.Which specific blues player do you listen to?You might be able to get a more direct answer.

hmm alright. hey guys i think my strats got a problem.
the tremolo is not inplace properly.its tilted up.its not flat on the body.
but everything seems normal tone wise.

from the back of the body,the holes aren't align.
i think its shit work from china factories thats why.
any opinions on this?

here it is.

 

[evident]

it's all in the feel, touch, and soul man. you gotta feel the music, to play the music. tone is personal. there's no specific "blues" tone..actually there may be. but it isn't that important.

Mmm alright.so its up to indivudual.
alright thanks for clearing my doubt.

aiyo.. the bridge nothing wrong lah.. you look at your back of the guitar. tighten the springs..

dont have to loosen my strings first or something? just go ahead and tigthen it up?

 

[teleplayer]

loosen the strings first. then tighten the springs. you can tighten the strings but tightening the two screws that is holding this metal thing that is holding all the strings.

hope this helps...

What string gauge did you slap on there?

Loosen your strings somewhat, start tightening the spring screws, making sure things are even with the spring coils, tune back up and see if you got a nice trem set and action that you want. Repeat if not yet right, till it's right.

Or go for a lighter set of strings

Blues is in your hands and in your soul. And in your music/fretboard theory.

ok what your bridge like that very cool can bend up the pitch and also down, somewhat like jeff beck his guitar also like that
