Hey Justin,
I picked up an EKO 995 for dirt cheap, and after reading so many great things about it here over the years, I just couldn’t resist pulling the trigger. I sent it straight to my luthier for a setup, and he found a capacitor in the neck pickup circuit that cuts a lot of high frequencies.
I remembered your comments about the bass sounding really dark, and that led me to a question: were you aware of that capacitor in the circuit? Also, what pickup configuration do you usually use on that bass — neck + bridge?
If the bass feels too dark in certain situations, I guess you could experiment with the circuit, remove the capacitor, and see what happens. If you didn’t already know about it, maybe this could be useful information for you too
Thanks as always!
