Why does this happen?

Hi! This might be a noob question...I don't know! Why does my bass sometimes sound awesome and other times sounds like this throuh a PA: Invalid Link Removed


Where does all the treble come from? Is it just EQ or does it have anything to do with gear, like innapropriate impedance or something (I don't have a clue of what I'm talking about, just hinting). It could just be the bass but why would it sound great as soon as I plug it in sometimes?

My setup (as I connect it to PA's) is simple:

-warwick streamer stage one V w/ MEC pups and SD basslines preamp
-boss tu-2 tuner
-sansamp bass driver di
