That's of utterly no consequence. The only important opinion is yours, and what your ears tell you. Honestly, the amount of "tales round the campfire" "lore" that gets thrown around like fact and dogma annoys the waste water out of me.
Make up your own mind when it comes to subjective matters of taste. And if I may offer advice, I'd say don't even think about modding a damn thing on a bass until you've at least played it at "war volume" in the context you intend to use it most in, be that playing live with bands or recording stuff at home on your own.
