I have more than a slight issue with "artists" who prostitute themselves from company to company, Gear that was the Dogs whatsits last week can't just become stttty* gear the next week. Thomas Eich dealt with me personally over an issues with my gear which he resolved even though he was on Holiday at the time, The mark of a good company is how they resolve issues that crop up from time to time. I am sure he will make the right decision and the right statement at the right time. Don't want this to become another SWR story - Please

I believe you are right to blame the wood, The reason the hand build custom bass luthiers hand pick their timber and ensure it is the best seasoned material is because they understand that this is the fundamental building block of the bass tone just as a tuning fork resonates loudly when placed on a solid surface. The body and neck woods are key to how well the bass will resonate. I also believe that playing the instrument - any instrument wood or brass will help align the molecular structure withing the material just like stroking a nail with a magnet to align its molecules to form a north and south pole. Instruments get better with age and that means exposing them to the range of frequencies they need to propagate a good tone. Every mass production bass line will have good basses and lemons, which is why you should always try as many as possible, you may want a salmon pink bass but the blue or black one in the shop may be the better bass.

I would have gone head to toe with ya for a free pass

who are you taking

when is a single cut not a single cut, there are no rules just good taste, balance playability and of course tone

Motown - first for me, But Stax well there is some excitement on that label, like sweet and sour they balance each other nicely, music today wound not be the same without either and the cross over that followed through the 70's has shaped pop as we know it today.
