Easy thing to try: Remove the 47p cap over the volume(gain) control. Then remove the 330p cap over the 220k resistor. Those are acting like treble boosters.

More bass but less fuzzy or muddy will be tough. At some point you will have to compromise. Because the only way to have really tight, but loud, bass is to first cut the bass, then distort, then boost the bass back up. Which takes a complicated circuit. The umble has the tone section too early in the circuit. If you boost the bass to much at the start it will sound more like a fuzztone.
