I just purchased a used Fender Acoustic/ electric GB41SCE. Its a great bass save for 1 problem:
The E string is way quieter and weak compared to the other strings only when played through an amp. acoustically played its fine.

It has a fishman pickup EQ. I have changed the battery and strings and those moves have not fixed it :-(

Can anyone help?

The other strings sound and play great!

Under the saddle you should find a long thin transducer ribbon, that is your pickup. Sometimes this ribbon can slide down or up and you won`t get the full pickup contact try to slide the ribbon up closer to top of the bridge and see if this helps.

Another reason your E string is not as loud as the rest of your strings could be because the plastic bridge is not seated properly or the bottom of the plastic bridge is not even and flat so it is not makeing full contact with the transducer ribbon pickup.

Hope this helps.

I have just orderd this bass I had a Victor Bailey acoustic bass but needed to sell for some med bills I was told the GB-41SCE has basicly the same nesk profile as the Victor Bailey only with better woods does the neck feel slim to you?
