I've got an Ibanez AS73t with a roller-bridge, but the little roller wheels seem to move from side to side on the axis, making a little clicking noise. I'm pretty sure this is being picked up when I record, but beside that its just irritating.

Are all roller bridges like that? Or does it need replaced? Any idea what kind of bridge would fit? Its got a Bigsby style trem on it, but I'm not convinced I really need a roller bridge...

Any ideas?

I have a roller bridge on my Aria (Bigsby too), but it doesn't do that

Surely a bigsby is fine without a roller bridge though right?

The roller bridge supposedly aids tuning - you could go try a Bigbsy'd guitar without one and see what happens.
