entire E string sounds dead

I have the same problem with the entire E strings on my bass, I tried to change a set of strings,adjust pickup height, action, truss rod but It doesn't help, but normally A,D & G sound so good and have a lot of definition.
then I switch same E strings to the A strings position and E string sound so alive, I don't sure that at any certain bass can have a construction issue that make entire E strings area go weak, now I'm still trying to figure this out.

Don't know if this is really the issue, but I noticed on my bass, the E strings that sounded dead had the thicker windings at the ball end passing over the saddle, while the brighter ones had a shorter sect of thicker windings that didn't pass over the saddle. If you look at the ball end, you'll see some thick windings that then narrow down to the main windings. I'd make a drawing, but haven't the time right now.
My bass have zero fret and the nut is just holding the string not to move in the side way, so E string can get into A string area but it can move a little.

What kind of a bass is an ADJ?
Someone guessed earlier that it was an American Deluxe Jazz but that bass does not have a zero fret.
