So does this mean we need to work out which bass is best for each particular sub-genre ?.

Funnily enough, the only difference between Glam metal (as it was at the time) and thrash metal basses, was just the colour. For example both genres used spikey BC Rich types, but whereas bright and day glo colours were part of Glam, black and dark colours tended to be thrashed.
IIRC back in the day there was a BC Rich ad featuring Poison & Slayer.
