Concert Band

Greetings All,
I am an amateur bassist. I play in college orchestras and hold my own as a core player. For kicks and grins, I play in concert bands. I am playing on a 7/8 5-string with oblagatos. (Hanssen c. 1935-1940). The bass has a huge sound on the A string and I compete with tubas. In fact, all strings speak well, except for the E string. It is relatively weak. Is there anything I can do to get the E string up in volume? I am a lazy SOB and I get tired of shifting up on the B string.

Thank you for your time.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
