I noticed that my MM EVH has a little less bass that my other guitars.
I thought the space between the strings (I already have a low action on my EVH)
Is a little big, so I decided to reduce this space with the glueing togethter 2 heavy picks and shim the Pickups.
The result more bass, less breathing and less sustain like with sigle coils when you close to thet stratitis prob where the magnets influence the string movement.
Today I will try with one pick and I´ll let you know.
Anybody with similar experiences?????
(Maybe Eddie and MM had something in mind designing it that way :rolleyes: )

I mean it´s graet sounding already but we´re all looking for something better.
 
All right I completely brought it back to stock specs. So don´t change the space- no good.
Now it sounds like my baby again.
