This astonishing beautiful song (avantgarde pop?):

I love the look of bases and guitars in green finish, however unfortunately I don't own any myself, but would love to see yours.

No, but if not then what are you actually speaking about/what is your point? Also I posted my reply a bit premature, which I unfortunately have a really bad habit with, before I had made sure I actually said all I wanted to say, I apologize for that, but please read it again in the edited updated version.

That might be, but does it reflect in the actual music industry, and musical underground as well, that is the actual music released, and do they all really do all styles equally well? Just because you are trained in something doesn't mean you are good at it. And I am certain different people will naturally have more talent in some styles over others, as well as I would think there is still something to be said for specializing over being a jack of all trades.

I don't think that claim is in line with actual reality. Also seems like an odd analogy that to me doesn't really seem to actually work as an analogy here. Can't tell if you are joking.

As other people have already pointed out the pickups have a much bigger say on the basic tone/character of your bass than any onboard preamp will ever have. So I am going to repeat the advice those other people have already given, if, and only if, you need your bass to produce a different tone, start with swapping the pickups for some different/"better" ones, closer to your personal preference.

Seems like you know disturbingly much about necromancy!

Try take a listen to their "Bloody Kisses" album, without doubt their easiest accessible album, even with a couple of big hits on it. Also metal is much a broader genre than speed, power and trash metal. Such as stoner, doom, sludge or even drone metal. Plenty of energy in these genres, just not speed wise, instead they put the truly heavy in the metal. It's a heft thing, rather than a speed thing. And Type O Negative in general is to the darker and heavier side of the spectrum. Also this is rock, not Celine Dion or Pavarotti.

You hit the nail right on the head there and totally nailed it! 🔨 Time to get hammered! 🍺

Fireworks - Stina Nordenstam

No, that isn't a mess and adds up perfectly well: 1000W being twice as loud as 100W. 100W -> x 2 = 200W (+3dB) -> x 2 = 400W (+3dB) -> x 2 = 800W (+3dB) 3 x 3dB = 9dB

As someone else has already pointed out the difference between 200W and 300W will only be something like 1.5dB, which hardly is going to make much of a real difference.

I wish I could afford a Stanley Clarke signature model.

I have had some of my Boss pedals sometimes do this, but not consistently, and in my current setup they are always disengaged when turning the power on, regardless that some of them are always on pedals for me, and that they were engaged when power was turned off. Seems rather random to me. Would be nice if Boss somehow could make their pedals be in the same state as they were in when power was turned off consistently when powered up, like most other pedals on the market. That said it's not exactly that big of an issue.
