Hey chaps,
Couple of things. My LP selector switch can make a kind of scratchy sound when switching from neck to middle and bridge. I assume the solution here is a little bit of contact cleaner?
Second question, a little more awkward. Alot of the time, if I have some overdrive or distortion applied and fret an inversion up the neck (say a G, x-x-x-12-15-15), I get this weird, almost disonant sound; its like the decay of certain notes get cut out and a nasally, honky tone comes to the fore. I'm pretty sure its nothing to do with intonation - though I'll check that out. Maybe its just the timbre of the instrument/pups, but it only seems to materialise when playing a double/triple stop.
