Basses with flats in clean amps?

I’m not a highly technical guy but I’ve had a lot of amps, what would define an amp as being clean, ie, is a valve amp clean, just curious  🙂

Not with my settings...

Another flats user here - Chromes. I don't know if my Radius qualifies as a p-bass (ought to ask I suppose) into an RCF cab. As I only use the piezo pickup I still have to apply a fair amount of HF cut over 700hz for a non 'zingy' sound. The strings are 2.5 years old.

I use flats on my 5 string xotic p bass. They sound really dull in the living room at home, but they sound much better on a gig, and sit well in the mix. a good alternative to the rounds on my jazz bass😁

No, valves will always colour the sound, when compared to a clean ss amp.

I'm not so sure that's true. Any circuit, whether valve or solid state, is capable of imparting some coloration to the audio signal passing through it.
