Ashdown Mag EVO II

Hey guys, and girls, is there anyone out there that owns an Ashdown Mag EVO II, or something similar or from the line that can tell me help me get a better sound from mine? Or that could help in general... ;)

Mine is a 300 watt, split into two 10'' drivers. It is certainly a well built amp, and it sounds great, I just don't get the fullness I'm looking for. I have a Tobias Killer B 5 string with Bartolini soap bars in it, 18V active. D'addario Chromes flat wound, regular light gauge/ On board settings go as this: Treble is slightly bumped up, neck pickup is turned about to 7(5 being the balance between 0 and 10), and the neck pickup is at about 6. As for my current EQ on my amp: I have a deep boost (10 dB boost, not sure what frequency, I want to say its at 32Hz), my bass is at 2 o'clock, my bass/mids are at 2 o'clock. The mids are turned to about 10 o'clock. Mid/treble is at 2 o'clock and the treble is at 1 o'clock. I don't have compression turned on. The dial on the front of the amp shows that I have the input at the max before I start getting distortion in my sound.

The kind of sound I'm looking to pull out of my amp is a smooth, full tone. Something really mellow and full. It may just be that my amp can't pull it off. But that would really surprise me.

Thanks. :D
