muddy schecter bass tone?

[rorykins]

hi everyone. it been a while since i've been back here.

anyway, i have picked up a used schecter stiletto deluxe as a back up. i gave it a basic set up and cant shake this muddy tone.

its very undefined, and mushy. not at all like the reviews ive read or the demos i have heard.

has anyone else had this issue? any ideas? is it the preamp? pickups?


otherwise its a great bass. good feel and natural tone.

thanks
