Basically, any harmonic where the string is moving upwards over one pickup and downwards over the other will be cancelled, and one where it's moving in the same direction reinforced.
You can't reproduce it with EQ, but you could probably get close with a fixed phaser, or an 'enhancer' type effect which works by mixing out-of-phase harmonics with the main signal.

Cool! Should have been obvious really!

I feel that there is definitely a cut off in the high end as soon as both are up full, regardless what note I play - is that in my head or maybe just on my particular bass? Or is the high end always dulled and it's the mid range that gets the varied cancellations?
I always hear it more as a loss of punch in the lower mids - the fundamentals aren't affected, but many of the harmonics that give the P-Bass it's midrange growl are, so the result is the classic smooth slightly scooped Jazz sound.

I've got EMGs in mine!

Surprisingly, old Höfners - the other bass most often fitted with nylon tapewounds - are actually pretty well-shielded and don't really have this problem.
