New Bass Day #2 - Washburn XB925

[itu]

That fingerboard is the crown jewel of the bass. Very attractive.

I opened up the back of my fretless bass, to change the battery,  and was reminded that the preamp includes some kind of midrange boost-cut device.

 

The diagram:

 

The fretless settings (1 2 and 3 off):

 

The fretted settings (1 2 and 3 on):

 

It appears that nothing is boosted on the fretless.  Perhaps that accounts for the thinner sound, compared to my fretted bass (which has the same system, but different switch settings).

 

However, before I start randomly flipping the switches, can anyone tell me how (say) a 270hz 10db boost, or everything on, might sound?
