Obvious, and sorta already covered...but have you checked the neck/body joint? If those bolts get stressed 'till they are loose, that will make your bass sound like shit. If you are as rough on instruments as I am...well, I'm speaking from experience here.
Do you keep it tuned to standard all the time? Is the neck warped? A common issue, I've found.
Have you cleaned the pots? Dirty pots can leak signal to a capacitor you aren't using.
Can you bypass the actives on the thing? A 5-minute soldering job...just run the pickups straight to the jack for a test. It will sound crazy different, but you will know where your problem is...
