String output issues

[Faithless]

So, I string my 5er Ibanez E-C tuning, and, from the very 19 to 24 frets notes start to lack output - I have to hit them quite harder (not how I usually pick strings - [i]very [/i]gentlly..) to get the 'needed' output of those highest notes..

I don't know, if there's something to do with pickup height (raising pickup toward C string?), or it's more serious problems, like scale length + string tension?..(it's 34" Ibby, and I know, that E-C tuning is best with 33" scale..)

I think, it may be the 2nd option, cuz, when playing 'open' strings, they give about the same output, let it be C or E, I don't feel the lack of sound output when playing at about first fifteen frets of C string..


Any thoughts on this?

Is your action very low?

[i]Very [/i]low.

If you raise the C string a bit does it behave the same way?
