Default tone?...(musician's point of view)

After reading quickly through these 3 pages of posts I think the relevant question I have is..."what can make a difference"(arco) when trying to improve tone? Are the new basses we heard about at the ISB convention built for...tone the player can hear?... or tone to be amplified?... or tone at the back of the hall?

With any bass, what steps can be taken to "prioritize" where to start with regard to improving the "job".. "my bass"..
"needs to do"? (arco/orchestra)......maybe each bass is unique and must be treated as such....how does a player really get the experience/skills to evaluate what his bass can do?....any comments will be welcome..thanks.
