[Help] Bending the higher fret problem

[imkeith]

Hey as stated above... i just noticed this problem on my 24 fret ibanez guitar.. whenever i bend the 18th fret onwards the note just dies off extremely quickly it make's it even more impossible to do a full step bend + vibrato unless i tweak the amp volume really high...
i was wondering is this the guitar's setup problem or it's just me ?
fyi i've no such problems on my mij strat

Does it happen on all the strings? if yes, try raising the bridge a little. if no, could be due to uneven frets.

yea prolly the bridge problem... when i played around with my whammy raising the pitch until a certain extend my strings would hit the bridge pickup

if the string hits the fret and causes the note to die off, raise the action. otherwise, try lowering your pickups
