Hey there
So I just bought a John Mann 5 String OSEM. It's been fun to play so far, but I'm noticing a problem with the volume when changing the tone selector.
When I received the mandolin (second hand purchase), the action was really high. I've since lowered the bridge as much as I can without getting a buzz (I may be able to lower a hair more, but not much). I was hoping that would help keep the volume flat between pickup selector and the push/pull tone knob - but no dice.
I then raised the pickups as much as I could without hitting the strings (currently as high as they can go). There was a good overall increase in volume - but same issue with the big volume differences.
I tried lowering the "hot" pickup and keeping the pickup that is associated with the lower volume the same height - but that didn't seem to do much (still big volume swings).
Any suggestions about how to resolve this?
