My Jazz Bass is a MIJ 62 Reissue, 3 tone sunburst, with original Fender finger rest, pickup and bridge cover, and made in 1995, bought from Ishibashi U-box, November last year, which I really love to death.
The problem now is the E string sounds like its 'grumbling' and too boomy and not punchy like the A, D and G strings, I already changed the strings about 3 times since I got the bass, but for the first 3 days after changing, it's really punchy and chimey but after 1 week, the E becomes muddy so fast, very annoying.. and I can't slap properly when it starts becoming like that, as if the string become stiff and not bright
I read other forums and they suggest that my pickup's bass side may be too close to the strings, but mine are fine. and the string height looks ok. They also said the E string probably not seated well on the nut,
When I check, the nut looks fine, except I can see some residual glue mark and and the place where the E sits, got a bit of worn out plastic bits coming out,
I still have my other guitar serviced by Beez, and I havent ask him about my bass yet
,So is it really got problem with the nut? as in not cut properly perhaps?
