Sounds very good, but the ribbon is sensitive and gets off-track, making different strings louder and softer than each other - bummer.

It sounds like your saddle doesn't fit exactly right. A little too tight or loose will cause string balance problems. If the fit is almost right but not quite perfect sometimes string balance problems will come and go with weather changes. The saddle should fit snug enough to stay in with the strings removed and the guitar held upside down, but loose enough to easily remove with your fingers. Binding on the ends or tighter on one side than the other can cause problems too. Waxing the sides of the saddle will help too.

Disclaimer. I'm not an ES fan because of problems I had with an early system. I have no experience, or opinion with the new 9 volt systems or even the later AA systems. I'm just trying to help Mike with his B band.
