Ringing Strings Behind The Bridge

[kingblud]

Hi all, hope it's OK to bump up this older threat, but it explains what my questions are perfectly. On my 330, I recently changed back from regular 10s (Ernie Balls) to the stock compressed Ric strings. I really like the Ric strings and am enjoying it, however this ringing behind the bridge has only now started up, after the string change.

I raised the bridge action to where it was when I had it strung it with EBs, and most of the extra sound is gone. However, some remains. Is this extra sound something that can be "worked out" of the 330, either by continuing to raise the bridge or by using heavier strings, which in theory would be more stable? Does anyone have experience with trying this?

I understand how to mitigate it via felt pads and such, and I also appreciate that this is something that happens on all Rics. I am just trying to understand how and why this works, so I can decide what to do. Since I'm slowly becoming a full-time Rickenbacker player, I want to know everything I can about it. I appreciate the help learning about the 330!

Not just all Rics, all guitars with a trapeze tail piece. Can you name a scenario where the strings wouldn't ring?
The good news is it doesn't come through the amp because of the pick up locations. I play my 330 unplugged and do use a piece of felt to mute the oscillations.
