Double Bass A on the D string...?

I'm playing Animas that are terrific, but...The A on the D string is always thunky, and in position sounds slightly out of tune. I have to modulate that one note to sound in tune; amplified or not. Could I have a flat spot do these strings sometimes have their quirks, and is this one of Velvets?
