What do you think fellow bass tone connoisseurs?

Me neither. It screams darkglass to me.
My SVP-Pro has a the 2 Pro graphic but I never use it. I get everything I need from the regular controls. My basses have an active mid boost/cut which I use time to time.
I’ve been running the pre into the return of a GK800rb and what’s cool is the boost/drive control on the Gk is after the loop, so you can use it as a post pre, flavor control.

I’ve got my GEQ set for my Spector. As long as I run both pickups full open or at least matched I get the tone I need at any volume level. I never touch the knobs or the EQ. Just the volume knob on the amp and the tone controls on my bass. Granted if I was still gigging I’d be using multiple basses and I’d be using it a little different. Definitely more high end for the 4001.

Definitely sounds like Darkglass

I think the OP bass sounds good for that style.

I'm more stoked on seeing bass players that actually own SVTs, and pictures of them

Ahhh the good old days, when bass players had gear

Seeing a rick and a couple of fridges brings me back to better times in the world of bands and music.

Every bass player nowadays plugs in direct and also sucks in current year

It's exhausting and it feels like there just aren't enough bassists who care

Here's a couple more pics of bass gear to lift your spirits.
Granted I haven't gigged in nearly 15 years. If I went back to doing it and played bass this is the combo of gear I'd use; and to hell with running anything DI.

Amps: Ashen Miley, SonicTone BA300, Trace Elliot V4 Mk1, Mesa Titan V12
Preamps: Ampeg SVP-Pro, Ampeg SVP-CL, Egnater M4 w/ bass centric modules, Eden Navigator, GK 2001RBP (not pictured)
Cabs: GK 412 Neo, Ashdown RM610
Basses: Ibanez SR, Michael Kelly Dragonfly, Ibanez TMB100 Tallmanm Hondo Deluxe 880ML, Custom built by me, Hagstrom HB8 Reissue, Hofner Galaxie

I don't have a true SVT, but I have my makeshift one. I'll run my 2 Ampeg preamps into my Blue Voodoo 300 which features the SVT poweramp. Not the same but it works and gets close enough.
