Bass anniversary

This week I have been playing bass 21 years. I have owned ~ 25 bass instruments, now have 7 giggable. I have noticed a few solid opinions I have formed, all other things being equal. Anyone else getting set in their ways? Nothing is ever 100%, but like I said, I look at my gear and see some trends.

Ebony fretboard > maple >>>> rosewood.

One pickup > multiple pickups.

Oil or nitro finish > poly finish.

Groove >>>> flash.

Fender < non-Fender.

P-bass > jazz bass.

American made > Imported.

Tube > non-tube.

Tweeter < no tweeter.

Passive ~ active, depending on mood.

Analog > digital.

Fretless > frets, on acoustic instruments.
