new cart and Where's the bass ?


So I was dusting the plinth awhile back and broke the cantilever on my clearaudio virtuoso wood. That cart sounded great until that horrible accident. So I got a Grado Statement 1 (nos) from a friend. This cart has never been used was about $2800 a few years ago, now it is $3500. A moving iron .5 mv . I loaded it at 47-50 k and a 60 db gain from my Phonomena. It sounds good on the highs, midrange, female vocals, soundstage, smooth etc. The bass is missing.
I mean missing like not there. I tried a lower loan at 2k and noting.
What's going on here? Is this thing a lemon or am I missing something?
Thanks

I've used a Grado Sonata for quite a while with no shortage of bass with a multitude of speakers. I'd double check the setup again.
