I agree with that, I'm using SR's for 15years, the one I have is something like the tenth, and especially with a maple board G tends to sound thin (I know how to EQ too, not all the way up). On some of my ex-basses this tendency was too much pronunced, really a fishing string. The one I have now is amongst the best I had, and the G is just a little weaker than the rest (if PU raised towards it). I can tell that by the led of my comp, and get the strings more balanced with it too.
