deadened string?

I recently purchased a fender aerodyne precision bass and I love playing it. I noticed that the E string, however, does not hold a sustain nearly as much as the other strings and doesn't sound full on, if you know what I mean. I'm thinking, it's a stock string, don't expect greatness, but I'm just curious if you guys think this is a string thing, or whether its possible there's something going on with the pick up? thanks
