I tried literally everything that is "usually" done (pickup height, string height, positioning etc) to no avail. On some amp settings, the top E seemed to almost disappear. Reading similar problems on the internet suggested the string change and it seems to have worked for me. I haven't changed all the strings as I didn't want to totally upset the tensioning and it seems to work as it is at present. Time will tell! I'm not sure what was fitted originally but was advised to use the 9-42's for playability (as a newbie).
