Same with my new DGT.I LOVE it when that happens!!!!! NOT!! Thats when you have to go to the pole pieces. Once again, EVERY PRS I have has had to have the bass side of the pup lowered to get rid of boominess on the lower 2 strings. I bet its not just mine. You do not notice it nearly as much with overdrive, because of the compression it gives, but with a clean tone it can drive you nuts. You have to lighten up your attack on the bottom two strings to keep the volume even. Lower the bass side of the pup and its a miracle!!! And it ALSO sounds even better when overdriven. This is especially noticeable on the neck clean tones.
I think PRS's are setup for OD/distortion tones. They really do not seem to be setup for that lovely clean sound and the DGT in split mode is beautiful when set correctly. I am in the process of doing just that. There seemed to be a boominess at first but lowering the bass side of the pickups and raising some of the pole pieces seem to be doing the trick.
