a couple things I can think of:

- if you're playing with a really light action, try raising it a bit
- try dropping the TP right down to the body. If your strings hit the back of the bridge, you might have to topwrap
- try a pair of steel tailpiece studs
- try a different brand of strings. Try going up one step (if you're using 9s, try 10s)
- most importantly I think, work on your vibrato.
