The hum is due to your body being an antenna for 60 hz EMF radiated by all the AC power wiring in the building. Guitar amps have a very high gain factor to deal with the miniscule signal (a few millivolts) from the instument's pickups. So the tiny 60 hz signal from your body results in an audible hum. If you actually ground the tip (metallic connection to the sleeve) you would hear silence. Carry on......

Well it turned out to be the amp. I went to Denver for the annual Tri-State parts swap meet and found a cheap 15 dollar First Act amp. I guess guitars and car parts do go together. The parts swap meet is three levels of pickers awesomeness. Learned something new and almost bought a car 4 track. I had never heard of such an animal, it was only 20 bucks and came with two cassettes, it was kewl.
Anyway back to guitars cant wait to start jamming on some one note riffs on amp, baby steps. I am using a mix of Rocksmith on PS3 and Youtube to learn how to play guitar right now. I have barely started to learn to play and I am already seeing ways I can add some performance to my guitar and add some bling to it just like a car. Tremolo/whammy bar, is fine just to remove it or how do I tighten it up so it stays pointing toward the neck? Right now if I tighten it up, it points towards the guitar strap mounting point on the body. Thanks for all the help.

I like George Lynch and the stuff he did with Dokken. Does he ever talk about D. Dokken, I heard those two did not get a long very well.

The good part about finding musical stuff at car swap meets is the prices are usually pretty low. James Q

Some guys will tell you to wrap plumber's tape around the threads on the arm before threading it in but that works for about 10 minutes. You can get a replacement spring kit from eBay that includes the spring, bearing and a neat little plug to keep them from popping out when using a hard-shell case where you have to remove the arm to close it. You can also just cut down a ball point pen spring to about 7/16"L and drop it in or pull the eraser off the end of a pencil and drop it in the hole. The eraser won't fall out as it expands from being compressed when you screw the arm in. Spring Kit:
