Super Clean TL-5!

Are these basses just ridiculously bright sounding? My Poplar bodied Dyna-Bass 5 sounded great, but the brightness of it was the reason I let it go. I can't imagine all that maple can be tamed when you're dealing with a fairly hot/bright pickup/EQ configuration to begin with. These things probably sound the business for slap and funk!
