Howdy all, I'm about near wits' end and thinking of parting with this bass. I have no idea what's wrong with it and have been trying to fix it.
The low end is basically totally overwhelming everything else. It seemed fine in the past?
I can hear the throaty/growly aspect StingRay's are known for underneath it, but this massive muffled bass is overpowering it.
It's like someone threw a blanket over the sound and that's what I'm hearing.
I've...
1. Changed strings.
2. Changed batteries.
3. Adjusted string height and truss rod.
4. Checked official measurements for pickup heights and even purposely lowered the bass side of the pickups a lot lower to see if that would help - it did not.
I've played through more than one amp, same issue. All my other basses as far as I'm aware sound fine. No idea what's happening with this one.
It sounds good with the bass knob turned all the way down, but that kills the overall output and tone, so..
HELP! lol
