Yamaha BB 1024x

Hey guys

I know this topic is a little old, but here goes...

I have just bought a BB1024X from a fab shop (bass direct in warwick), thro a genz benz streamliner 600 and 2 10 cab, it sounds awesome. Now when I play anything on the D or G string, they sound so much quieter than does the A or E.

I did a quick calculation and estimate a 60% drop compared to the E and A string, irrespective of the fret position. I have tried adjusting the pickup height and string height to increase the gain, but ended up with fret buzz and shortened sustain due to pull of the magneti the pick-up. Any suggestions would be most welcome

Thanks

Chris

Just tweaked again, managed to reduce the apparent signal drop (measured via my ashdown compressor VU meter) to about 25-35%. I am not sure how more I can gain (no pun intended)!

It is not something as straightforward as power distribution across the different frequency domains?
