The reason I'm drawing on the bridge pickup theory and the single string is
that I've got my Jap custom shop jag and if I drop out the neck pickup and
focus on a single string instead of the "power-chord" formation or the E-A-D
string combo, KABANG! dripdripdripdrip. Oh, let me add that I'm applying
this strictly to the rhythm guitar part. I'm no guitar scientist, but I'm
figuring it has something to do with the relationship to where the pickup
gets the signal from the string in relation to where your hand rests on the
bridge.
Are you still using the Custom Shop Vibrasonic or the Korg 301dl with the
Troubadours?
