This might go in Setup and Repair, but anyways..
I've seen other basses that deliver really low highs (if that makes sense) what I'm talking about is on the bass I saw the other day, from about 1st fret to the 9th ish fret on the D and G strings, they were really low.
I know that this might be obtained with flatwounds, but I was wondering if I could do anything else, maybe just different strings, or something else I don't know

Or do you mean that the D and G strings had really low action? |

The D and G aren't very high pitched, like what I'm aiming for is a lower sound

Other than trying flatwound strings, a bass with a longer scale length will generally sound "bassier" on all of the strings. |

But I'm trying to get this sound on my CIJ Squier P Bass
