After spending a little time with one recently, I'd have to agree with the posts that have the G&L L2000's as the most versatile for sounds. Just a crazy amount you can get out of those. Also, Spectors are way more versatile than I thought they'd be but I was able to get any type of sound out of mine when I had one.
My Clover Aperion that I just got off of here would be my current most versatile. Just an incredible bass that has allowed me to rest my Hamer Cruise 2Tek for a bit finally.

L2500 - for obvious reasons...
Dean Sledgehammer 5 - each pickup can has the ability to use Series/bridge coil/neck coil...22 possible combinations. Recently added A/P switch with Passive tone control always in the circuit, active or passive.

Custom Jazz. Hipshot tuners. Nordstrand 70's wind single coils. Nordstrand 3 band preamp with tone control. Dunlop StrapLoks. Black Anodized Aluminum PG. Patiently waiting to pull the trigger on a bound and blocked neck to complete the 70's jazz look.

My Allparts/Warmoth fretless by far is my most versatile bass despite being fretless.
Between blending or soloing the pickups, changing where you play or adding some overdrive theres alot of different sounds you can get to quickly. Recorded a thrash metal album with it and you wouldn't be able to tell it was a fretless bass unless someone told you, though I haven't been able to figure out if thats a good or a bad thing.

They look like old dimarzios, but I'm almost certain they're Fernandes copies of dimarzios. They're really nice sounding whatever they are, and the output is more vintage.
Hey, that's cool!
What did you do to it?
Do the Jag switches / rollers up top do anything?
Well a P or a J I'd guess
TOTALLY WRONG!
And that is because Leo got it RIGHT! (After building a P, a J, and a Musicman)
My L2500(s!), Natch.
The rollers are passive tone controls for each pickup that feed into a 3 way toggle switch, then to a master volume in the lower control plate.
The tone controls only interact when switch is in the center (both on) position. The one rolled off the most controls the center tone setting.
I usually pick the P or the J for my bright tone and roll off the other one for a dark tone. Either pickup solo sounds well defined in the low end with the treble rolled off. Combining them gives less definition but a very sweet midrange bump. The J pickup is wound to be a bit warmer than the typical J bridge, so it's not too harsh or too honky solo'd.
The neck is graphite and has fanned frets (it's subtle, 35" scale on the E and 34" on the G. 12th fret is the straight one.)
Lots of mods. Bart pickups, Hiphot D-tuner, badass bridge, strat jackplate, etc... It's kinda ridiculous, but the resulting tone, playability and stability are superb.
I get lots of sounds because I've got all the buttons and switches on the Jag Deluxe!
