Set up/pick ups

[Harry Scott]

I find that the rear pick ups on my BSR4GN impede my natural feel while playing, i.e they touch the tips of my fingers so that my fingers can't 'dig in' as much as I sometimes want them to and that that affects my fluency. I think that my touch might not be 'light' but I never had this problem on a Wal.

Perhaps I'm accustomed to my fingers going so far in freely pulling the strings and it feels odd when/if they can't, so much so that it upsets my flow.

If I push the mic down there is space for it to be more near the surface of the bass (more than even the height of the front pick up) but the screws don't seem to allow that much tightening.

Any solutions/hints/suggestions anyone?
