Yamaha G3 Bass question

Did you try adding (or even subtracting!) one half turn on the bass strings?
Try it with just one pair in the most offending area.  I had a Samick which
responded very well to this.  I didn't think the sound was "nasal" but it is
very difficult to describe these things.  Just look up my "boinging" problem
from a while back!

Glenn.
