I feel my steel has the same problem ,Ive changed pickups,foot pedal ,bought a new hilton pedal which my wife bought me. my old shobud pro1 just seem to be to bright [ no bass end ] had my old sessions amp 400 ,checked and tested .still no matter what Ive done,it still seems to bright when Im playing out. So yesterday I called up ,Mike at Mullen and ordered a new Mullen G2 double 10 8&5 that should cure my problem [ thats what I told my wife ] aleast shes not saying a whole lot, yet,I have not told her ,I need a new amp to go along with the steel. I think Ill wait a week or so.

One suggestion would be to record yourself. Maybe that would give you a good idea. Rely on a member of the audience who would be quite honest with you.
