Tone got murdered

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm not sure what's wrong with my Jazz bass, but it's spitting out this tone: http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/34579816/file.html
I suspect it's the electronics but can't put my finger as to what it may be. The only thing I did was lower the action and tightened the screw in the output jack. This was my tone before: http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/43190681/file.html (Excuse the crappy track, it was the best track I could find =\)

Any ideas? Same recording settings and rig.
