Wow, thanks for all responses, some good stuff there. I ruled out the jack; saddle and nut are actually quite crisp, so no wobbles there. It WAS a wolf tone of sorts as suggested by Alan, and I did notice the sympathetic effect on the other strings, especially the low E, as rightly mentioned by ChuckS. Interesting that even when the other strings were dampened, the B tone would still have a heightened 'muddy' sound. Anyway, I changed out the strings, and installed silk n steel in place of light gauge bronze, and it seems to have diminished quite a lot. I can live with it now. So thanks much to all, I am grateful for the combined knowledge infusion.
