Maybe the new string triggered a pickup adjustment issue. Try lowering your pickup on the bass side. ((I could be wrong, so take this advice with a grain of salt)).

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

If you have a set neck guitar change the strings one by one, removing all strings before putting the whole set again will lossen the glue and eventually destroy your guitar.
