I have a Pbass with 70's era Series I innards. I have two issues with this bass: the tone can be very "nasal" and kind of thin; and it seems to get lost in the mix sometimes. I can get plenty of growl, volume, highs and lows, but I'd what I'll call "warm mids" are missing. There's no punch.

I play through a WWoods into a 15" BagEnd. I've tried TI flats but I sacrifice other tones with flats. Now I have very old Dean Markley Blue Steels on it, which I know are twangy but these are probably 4 years old.

WWYD? Different strings, tube preamp...?

I would be greatly indebted! This has been a source of frustration for 20 years! I'm a patient man ;0)

Cheers,

Jeffrey
