Raise the treble side of your pickups... This puts the pole pieces closer to the strings for a stronger signal. To do this... simply give the screws on the treble side of the pickups about a half turn... then test to see if you like the results. If you go too far your signal will start to sound distorted... this is known as natural distortion. A half turn should be sufficient to get the boost that you need.
