Thanks for all the help Alex (and others). Ive done all that (and other things suggested). Its not a set up issue at the bass end, as im finding similar results with ym other basses. Ive been using the BB2 regularly since i got it and never at home. Its not just the E string, certain freqs seem louder than others. The open E is quite soft compared ot fretted G, im aware of why that is. Sometimes i know its the room not working well but most cabs suffer from that so i wouldnt blame the cab.
I dont have this issue using the studio cabs, nor going through our PA (although its a small PA and i just go through it for a bit of support)
I have the pup set up correctly, but its not just the one bass im struggling with.
I think the bottom line is that its just not for me. Nothing wrong with it at all.
