Warwick Bass String Set 045"-105" M

I thought I could have an awesome thumpy Paul McCartney-like tone on my semi-hollow but nah... The E and the A strings barely made sounds. It was even more quieter than on my solid body basses... And plugged in, master on full the volume was 6x lower on the E string than the G. I've tried to lower it, raise it, change the pickup heights, the bridge piece place, etc but nothing changes and no matter how these elements were placed, my flatwounds were 4x better!! I'm not sure if I just got unlucky to get a set of not working ones but they are barely useful at this point.
