Next from where I sat at the time!you mean past 20 posts?…
Because time is a big ball of string.
Update on the brightness issue.
After reading the comment on pickup height, I noticed that both pickups were parallel to the face of the bass, not the string angle. I removed the strings, and did a little shimming of the pickups, so that they're now parallel the the strings and quite a bit closer.
All I can say is Holy Sh**! What a difference a few millimeters can make. It really brought out the tone and growl that I was looking for. I'm still going to try different strings, but that small adjustment pretty much took care of my problem.
Thanks for the suggestions.

This is why my Classic Pro is never going anywhere and strung BEAD. Just awesome low end THUNDER.
It always amazes me when bass players talk about diming the tone knob or wanting brightness out of their bass tone.
No thanks, not what I like.
If it continues to go downhill.

(If all else fails, play dead.)
Hmm. I thought it was a "Ball of Confusion".
Are talking string theory now? If so, it's going to be very interesting.
Yes, but then something else shiny catches my attention…
is it just you, the CEO and the CFO there?…
wonder what bug this guy has up his…….adapter socket..

Very appropriately Autumnal!

Ditto! I choose to play bass for a reason. The only treble I introduce is whatever is needed for note definition and it ain’t much. 
Of course that only applies if this doesn’t work…Illegitimi non carborundum
Well we could talk about the theory of relativity. I have lots of relatives.

As you point out, proper sequence is important.Well string theory is related to relativity. (Sort of.)

Same. There's a lot of bass players I see/hear that have so much "brightness" (and often/mostly play very far up the neck) that they should probably be playing baritone guitars. Or just go ahead & get a 7-string treble guitar or something....
imo
