Now that I have your attention, lol
I put together a Warmoth Jazz/P bass hybrid thing over the last couple of months. Stringing it up for the first time, and playing acoustically, E and A sound fantastic. But the D and G strings are very dull, muffled. This is translating through when played amplified - again, E and A sound fantastic. The D and G sound very Motown, James Jamerson.
Hmmm. Needs fixing.
Not sure whether to point my attention to the nut, or perhaps try a new set of strings. Or something else.
I typically use D'Addarios, but this time I gave Rotosound 66s a try due to typically high customer reviews. Now they're on, i'm now reading that Rotosounds often have dull sounding strings out of the box. Murphy's Law. I've never encountered a dead/new string this in all my years of playing so this would be a first.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
