If other possibilites fail, check if the strings don't hit the pole pieces in humbuckers. I used to own kinda-predecessor of this bass (RBX375) and it was the exact thing that happened - strings hitting the pickups sounded like clipping. Solution - lower the pickups or slap some electrical tape on the magnets. Or play less heavy-handed 
edit: I see you tried playing light - but still, bass strings bend surprisingly far even played light. Also, check the battery |
This ended up being the trick! I put some electrical tape over the poles and recording now is going so much better! Funny how it can be the little obvious things like that. Thanks a ton! 🤘😄
