It's cheap and easy to experiment with cap values. They cost pennies.

Add a 0.1 cap to a cheap bass (£200 or less) and some decent strings and suddenly it will sound x10's better. I don't know why manufacturers use 0.047 caps with cheap strings with the already cheap pickups and electrics. The 0.1 cap will reduce all the nasty harsh and "tinny" sounding highs, and give an even bass response across all strings, bringing it closer to mid-range basses in terms of sound.

The humble cap gets overlooked by many people, but choosing the corrtect value for the music style you play will have a BIG difference on your sound.
