I've really been into trying different string brands lately.

It does sound incredible. New strings too perhaps?

I don't know about anyone else, but I've found small tweaks in Toaster height make huge differences in the tone.

Sounds cool.
And Yorkvilles are great amps. I had an old blue carpet BM 200 that I wish I still had. (I tried the new Traynor DB 200 and promptly returned it). I'm currently using a Yorkville Bassmaster 400 head w/ matching cab.

That bass sounds absolutely amazing, what most Rics wish they sounded like. What I find surprising is how good the toaster sounds on its own (I hardly ever use them like that); it just is Squire! Awesome.
