Hi Adam. Welcome to the Forum.

The "weak G" is/was a problem that some players had with the 2EQ preamp in that the G string sounded too thin compared with the other strings. I noticed it with only one of my 2EQ Basses but found it could be remedied by reducing the bass control.

This should not be a problem for you as your Bass has a 3EQ which is totally different to the 2EQ preamp.
