    Whenever I try to play solos or tapping on the higher strings I'm often irritated by the volume difference between the strings. The bass strings are usually a lot louder.
    I have three guitars and the same problem with all of them so I'm convinced I'm missing a magical button in my settings. Switching pickups or adjusting the bass on my amp doesn't make it perfect either.
    Any tips I may not have thought of yet?

    Only other thing I can think of maybe is technique. Make sure you're flicking off your taps rather than just pulling off gingerly. I used to have similar issues with volumes on higher strings and I think I just had poor picking and pull-off technique. Try playing through headphones if your amp has a headphone Jack and see if the volumes still sound off.

    Different string tensions set ups with different scaled guitars and how does everyone go about maintaining their prefered setup with these changes.
