no problem, it makes a huge difference. was something i discovered out of frustration initially thinking 'why do these sound so muffled and washed out?' at normal pickup heights. thought to myself might as well try to raise them super close to the strings and see what happens before i get rid of them, and immediately they opened up, the difference being night and day. way back when i first tried them out, there wasn't really any info online suggesting this, so i am sure tons of people (at least back then) probably threw them out due to not knowing about how high you really need to push them up to the strings to get them to do their super detailed hi fi thing. definitely not a sound or feeling for playing that everyone will love, but if its something you love, then you love it a lot.
