Try different strings, even if not double-ball.
Lighter gauge perhaps (though I don't tune down)?
I run Dean Markley 128-40 on my mid-90s Empathy 5.
Plays and sounds fabulously.
The B string has a lot of windings hanging on the core of the string.
If it isn't tight, it will sound dead.
Have fun jammin'
