quacks as in like the EHX bassballs kinda sound, just tt its really mild,lower pitched and can be heard only on the open A and D strings. Its like a mid-sy range sound, though i understand that a jazz bass is suppose to have less lows and much more mids and highs as compared to a P-bass? well, cant really say as my previous bass was a P-bass and maybe i'm too used to taht sound.

sorry man i can't really catch your ball, because i don't see why the a and d, in particular, should sound different..
but anyway alot of people like to refer to the j tone as 'throaty', p tone as 'growly' and other terms that we can't disprove, but to me it kind of sound like a kind of clipping. the p 'clips' at the lower frequencies and the j at the mids
and it is that characteristic that i love, so its roundwounds for me, with a mid boost on the eq. it gets even better when i solo the bridge and roll off the tone. the strings on my bass are some heavy gauge shit from fender japan that i have never changed, and i occasionally give it the stringlife treatment to keep em bright and defined. so dull sounding isnt really for me

maybe youtube your bass and we can diagnose it or something
Thanks y'all for your help and good will. I have managed to solve it alr, some EQ tweaking needed on my MXR. And to zero_g, ya, the action on my bass is really low, just the way i like it, the strings are like hovering just above the fret board. The EQ tweaking did reduce teh quack, but i guess because of the low action tt i like that the 'quack' is gonna stay
