My bass is in tune but sounds 'sort off' bum notes

it could be me....but I'm sure my VMJ is off tune, no isn't me...my ears are getting better now!

All my Yamaha's have sounded spot on...but the VMJ is sort of slightly off tone...sometimes...more noticeable after playing the BB.

...I have tuned it with my digital tuner, using the open strings and 5th frets too, ohh, and harmonics sound fine too....but I'm sure there is something not right, more noticeable on the 4th and 6th frets on all strings.

any ideas?

wow, thanks guys for the help

...E string was way out on the 12th fret octave, too flat, I had to pull my saddle some 4 mm forward to compensate....the A string off too, again it was flat.

...checked my Yamaha BB414, spot on that's Yamaha for you though :)
