It's possible that the action is too low at the nut if you are hearing a lot of clanging and/or buzzing.
Have you had the guitar professionally set up? If the action is too low at the nut the only cure is having a new nut made. I will have to take my bass to the tech soon because I have this problem after changing strings from roundwounds to heavier flatwounds and changing the tuning. The trussrod, bridge, and nut were all affected.
I had some strings once that I hated. They were called Heavy Core strings, I think they were made by Dunlop. Lasted a weekend and then I took them off. They had a very metallic sound.
The set up is as professional as RAN can get, I guess. 7th string 12 fret 1,75-2mm and 1st string same fret 1,25mm, the strings probably have something to do together with the action so low and the longer scale lenght of 27'. I'll keep on playing it until I get used to or make a string change. The strings are new and being a FR, I just want to wait a little bit longer in case the sound stabilizes eventually. Thanks a lot for your help, AO.
