Title: WWYD: Series I has "nasal" tone?!
Post by: jigme on August 03, 2004, 10:00:36 AM

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
