Squier CV Jazz issue

[njr911]

I love my CV Jazz but when playing frets 5 to 7 on the E string it seams like I get a higher output and it booms a bit. Tried a couple of different amps but its there on all amps.

Do you thin it's a string issue. Or a sweet spot on the neck.

Would putting new pups it it help?

How close to the strings are each of the pickups?

A to B on the E are normally the most resonant notes. You can often get a door or loose fitting to vibrate with those! As Mr Alsatian says, check your pickup heights. Might just need taking down a turn.

I dropped the pickup heights on the bass side. I've not measured them though.

Is there a correct height?

Thanks

8/64ths on the bass side, 6/64ths on the treble side. (pickup height is measured from the pole piece to the bottom of the string on the bass and treble sides with the last fret depressed.)

How do you measure? Not sure my 6" helix non shatter is accurate enough

[EssentialTension]

You buy a rule with 64th"s or at least 32nd"s.
