Hi!
I recently tightened the neck-rod of my Studio baritone, since the 0.14 gauge strings had slightly curved the neck.
The neck straightened OK, and the strings/action got lower and easier to play, some marginal buzzing.. I'm going to raise the action a tad.
But as the neck straightened and strings came down, the sound changed!!
The guitar lost some bottom end!.. And the top end became a bit shrill.
I kept checking the amp's settings over and over, and thought my mind is playing tricks on me, until the drummer looked at me and said "It's lost some bottom end hasn't it?" Odd that the change was so clear that both of us noticed!...
Anyone else come across this??.. Will the sound ghange back if I raise the action/adjust the pickup-level..?
