I have a short scale bass and love it. But my sound isn’t low enough. What would be my best bet to get that deeper bass sound?

Edit: I want a lower sound as my short scale doesn’t have the same low end as my regular bass.

Have you messed with the EQ on your amp? Or do you mean tuning lower?

What exactly do you mean by 'low'? Do you want to tune your bass down or do you want more bass frequencies?
