This sound is frustrating!!!

[WCHIII]

Got my SVT 3 pro in today. Hooked up to the
SVT 610 hlf cab and Birdsong bass. Wow!!
This is loud and so much more sustain than I'm
used to. In a room with terrazzo floors, a
wall of windows, stuff hangin on the walls, this thing
is rattling everything. I hope it's the room and
not the cab. I'm Lovin the sound all but the
Low open E. all other open and every fretted strings
sound nice with a fat centered pitch. The open E
Has a very dirty sound with the harmonics, mainly
the 3rd taking over. I can't seem to dial in a good fat
sound on the open E. I'm thinking its got to be the
room.... Hoping anyway!!!

To check if it's your room do the following.
Walk around the room when playing the open E and listen if the sound gets louder (or less louder) at different spots in the room.
Next step is to this again but then with the cabinet placed at a different spot in your room.

It could also be your bass.... do you also have this with the ol' cabinet?

You might also try cutting the lowest band on your amps eq. Make up for it by boosting the low mids.

Thanks guys. I've done most if this. I found the
culprit/s. my fiancé has a wall with 25 crosses/crucifixes
on the wall. They sound like a old Zildian sizzle
ride cymbal. I'm getting the stink eye from her
When I get them all dancing!!!

Hmmm, sounds like it's time for a new girlfriend. I bet that engagement ring can be traded for a nice vintage bass.

That sounds like a damn sweet setup. Glad you isolated the problem.

To those who now have that song stuck in their heads, you're welcome. I whistle it at work on bad days.

Stink Eye is always something good to achieve!

I got the same look from my parents when I would rattle pictures off the wall. Fun times!

Is there a "B" in there that shouldn't be?

I think the 'B' is silent.

I have a friend, Prick, who spells his name with a silent 'P'.
