No, Yes, No

EB Nickel Slinkys (Rounds)...Super Slinkys on the 4's I think, Slinky 5's on the SR5

ive been eqing the hell out of my new ray today and i still cant get that a string to sound right, anyone got any ideas on whats going on? the a retains a ton of twang while everything else is nice and bassy
 
From the EBMM bass FAQs:
"The 4-string basses are all equipped with Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass strings, item number 2834, when they leave the factory. The gauges are 45-65-80-100. The StingRay 5 and Bongo 5 use the same with an added 130. This set is our Regular Slinky Bass 5's, item #2836."

Uh oh....Gard's finding his way here too? You know he's going to work for Keith at Roscoe right? That lucky dog........
:p
 
Yeah I know, I live in Greensboro, so I'm the Welcome Wagon for Gard, I'm picking him up at the airport Sunday. He's a great guy, I've bought a lot of stuff from him. I look forward to having another great bass player in town.

It could be the new strings, but could it also need some tweaks so its setup properly?
