Also no one says you absilutely have to use all your EQ options just because you got them, so if all the EQ's set flat sounds better than anything else, then of course do that, and if it sounds totally perfect after just adjusting the amp's EQ a bit, then stop there. No harm in experimenting though and see if it is possible to get it even better, you can always easily go back to a flat setting if adjusting an EQ band sounds worse than leaving it flat.

This phenomenal noise rock song by the Danish band Murmur (later renamed Speaker Bite Me), from around the mid 90's: So good, and brings back the memories.

This is the REAL clay dot myth! : Clay dots are said to add a lot of mojo to the brown side of the frequency spectrum, like they will emphasis the powerful fecal tone qualities that extensive scientific studies has shown have a huge and vivid impact on how we physically percept the sonical quasi dimensional structures that inhabits the neural link between general sound waves and the time/space continuum, as well as progressively alternating the concept of the transcendental relationship between the momental velocity of the imperative momentum and the lethargic nature of procrastinating contemplation. This comprehensive effect is speculated to drive women absolutely and utterly wild!

Look awesome... Here hoping Harley Benton will open their eyes to the popularity that short scale basses have got in recent years and make a proper short scale bass, as instead of their only current sorry excuse for one, the ultra budget 30" scale, only 19 frets, P bass. Ideally a 24 frets, 28,6" scale (like the Ibanez Mikro, Squier Mini P, Jackson Minion and ESP LTD B-4 JR, all currently on the market, as well as the now discontinued Fender Precision Bass Junior, which I guess the Squier is inspired by), perhaps featuring a Music Man pickup in the P pickup, kind of middle, position, or how about just taking the killer looking Thunderbird inspired bass of the OP, shrink it down a bit and slap on a 24 fret neck that'll add up with the 28,6" scale length.

Not to me. Though they definitely wont fit in in all music and automatically sound good regardless of build quality and how you play them.

Easy piece: First set all EQ's flat, then dial in your basic clean tone as close as you can on the EQ of your amp first, then fine tune with the EQ of your bass, and eventual make small adjustments on the amp's EQ as well to make those 2 EQ's play well together (you might want to do it the other way around, bass first, then amp, but that's a question of personal preferences and not something that can be put into a standard instruction formula), then fine tune further with your EQ pedal. First then begin to adjust the EQ of your other pedals to make them sound good when engaged, according to that basic clean tone. If boosting a frequency band sounds good, find the amount of boost that sounds best, if it sounds bad boosting it then don't, but eventual try to cut it a bit instead until it sounds good, proceed from there to the other frequency bands, one at a time, and finally make fine adjustment to make them all sound good together. That's about as close to a recipe you'll get, the EQ settings that might sound good to me on my gear might not sound good to you on your gear, both because we got different gear, but also because we will have different preferences, ears and perception of what those ears pick up.

I once tried to play a crappy violin, it sounded like crap, from that we can conclude that all violins sounds like crap. Actually my, even relatively budget priced, The Box 502, 15" woofer + 1,7" tweeter horn, full range PA speaker, works well a a s bass cab, in certain contexts sometimes even better than my SWR Triad I, 15" + 10" + tweeter horn, full range bass cab, though in other contexts it will be the other way around. Some PA speakers will work extremely badly others will work for extremely well for bass, as well as the context matters, as in what you feed it with and what your personal preferences are tone wise, if you prefer the sound of a 15" cab without a tweeter naturally no full range PA speaker will be what you are looking for tone wise, but if you like the sound of a full range bass cab the right PA speaker that has a good bass response potentially could be just as good a choice for you, perhaps even better, depending on the specific setup you use. Just as there are bass cabs that sounds like crap and bass cabs the sounds amazing, likewise are there PA speakers that sounds like crap and some that sounds amazing. It really all depends on the context, the point of the OP makes as much sense as concluding that all food objectively tastes like crap because you tried haggis once and didn't like it.

Somthing that might be easy to overlook but sounds absolutely awesome and lush for bass judging from the few YouTube demos I could find covering it is the analog BBD chip based Ibanez Mini Chorus. For a bit more subtle kind of chorus I love the TC Electronic 3rd Dimension Chorus, which is based on the Boss DC-2.
