I've been playing around with the guitar I have my Custom 8 in, and something is just not right. The pickup doesn't sound bad, but the bass sounds almost too tight, and too focused. It's loud, has sustain, but doesn't seem to have a lot of dirt. Could it be the strings? It's in a Frankenstrat project I just finished, and for some reason the strings are very tight, it first had a Schaller Floyd Rose for about a week, now it's had a Schaller made OFR, again for about a week, and the strings just get really tight, no clue why.

Re: Custom 8... Can It Be Too Tight? Too Focused?
Hybrid 9's, previously 10's, tuned Eb, I typically use 10's when tuned down, but left it at Eb with the hybrids.
I've lowered and raised the screw pieces, nothing really changed. Like I said, it still sounds great, but if I could change something it would be to loosen up the bottom just a tad.

Re: Custom 8... Can It Be Too Tight? Too Focused?
It's all relative. An A8 is going to sound a lot tighter and more focused than an A2, A3, or UOA5. Compared to a ceramic, an A8 isn't going to stand out as tight."Completely Conceded Glowing Expert."
"And Blueman, I am pretty sure you've pissed off a lot of people."

Need an amp with a resonance control. Lower the basee, raise the resonance. I'm actually being serious, I just went through this with a new guitar. Some amps just dont sound right with some guitars/pickups. JSX ftw.
