Bass "tightness" is often a product of the room response.
For example, large response peaks due to room gain will exhibit overhang and ringing, even if the response is measurably close to being "flat".
Room treatments, bass traps etc... are surprisingly effective. You may find that you don't need a subwoofer for clean tight bass above 40hz.
