I had the same problem with not one but two D strings from La Bella 760FL's.

I’d like to make a correction even though it’s not of great importance. My strings of choice are the TIJF 344’s.

For me, a Bill Lawrence P46 and a set of La Bella 760FL’s. It’s the clarity of the P46 that does it for me.

A P46 for clarity will do the trick.

Black. I’m not a fan of red tort.

@ Fondsdale I tried tuning the 3rd and 15th and the problem still remains. I'll post pictures of the frets tomorrow. I can definitely see flat spots under the D from the 3rd to the 9th fret. Other than that the frets looks fine under the other three strings. I believe a level and crown is in order.

The screws are all the same length. I adjusted the ball on the D to match the same angle as the other three strings. Adjusted the pickup height under the D and nothing has changed.

I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Fender American Standard Precision 2013.

I'll try adjusting the pickup height under the D string. If that's the problem wouldn't every note on the D sound be out as well?

I'll check it out, thank you.

That's the replacement string for the previous one. The silk has bunched up a little at the tree but I didn't see any damage to the string itself.

I believe a level and crown is my only solution at this point..

It's a 2013 Fender American Standard Precision. I'll check the eyelet on the D and see what I can. The rest of the strings have no issues. It's just the D.

I don't have the best lighting to get a good picture of the frets. I'll upload pictures tomorrow when I've got better light.

Under the D string. From the 3rd fret to the 9th. They're slightly flat.

I tried seating the ball first and then wind. This last time I let the ball work it's way into the bridge so that if the string does want to twist it can do so freely. Not sure if I'm making any sense.

These aren't the greastest pictures.

I've got about .012" of relief.

Tried an old string and I'm having the same problem. Is there a possibility that this bass doesn't like this brand of flatwounds (LaBella 760FL)?

I plugged into my Peterson pedal tuner and it's showing the same thing. I'm going to try reinstalling the string to see if it changes anything.

This is the second string I've put on. I guess it could happen having two bad strings.

PolyTune 3. I've got a better tuner. I'll try it to see if it's the polytune that's the issue.

Okay, I'll try that.

No change after setting the points. After a closer inspection it looks, to me, that there's flat spots on the frets. Maybe I need a level and crown?

Thank you for the information/link.

I didn't set the points. I will do that now and see if that helps. If setting the points doesn't help I'll load pictures. Thank you.

That's correct. I installed a new set of flatwounds and had to get a replacement D string because I thought it was a dud. Put the new one on a short time ago and I'm still having the same problem.

I will loosen the string and check for any debris. Clean it while I'm at it. Thank you for your suggestion I appreciate it.

D string intonation is correct open, fretted at the 12th and harmonically at the 12th fret. The notes F through B on the D string are flat. The G note is extremely flat. No issues with the E, A or G strings. What is causing this problem and how do I fix it? Thanks for any and all help.

That’s a beautiful bass!

Strings and Beyond has a flash sale going on now.

The Dimebag reference threw me for a loop for a brief moment. But, it’s all good!

The original pickup was to muffled sounding to me. The P46 produces a clarity that gives my bass a completely different sound. Much more pleasing to my ears. And I’m no longer struggling with the eq. Hope this makes some kind of sense.

Bill Lawrence P46 pickup is my suggestion. I recently installed one on my American Standard Precision. It made a huge difference over the oem pickup.

This is what I was struggling with. Pedal eq versus the amp eq. Thanks for the clarification.

That’s how I had the Minnow initially set up (last in the chain) but I wasn’t pleased with the sound(s) I was getting. I’ll keep ABing both set ups as Wasnex suggested. Hopefully I’ll stumble on something that I like.

Thank you. I’ve thought about selling the Tone Hammer and picking up a AG. I believe the AG is better suited for my needs. You are absolutely right about that lightbulb moment! Thanks for the link.

Thank you gtirard! I appreciate it.
