you can also use the "acoustic" version, which has a para mid. Works great on bass. Also look into the Hartke "bass attack", and do an apples to apples comp of the behringer BDDI clone..in a loud club mix, there was no difference.

As the height of the strings off the fretboard gets greater as you go up the neck..you push down harder to compensate, and naturally push one string out a bit.
