Adding to that tone is EVERYTHING!
Geddy Lee has a specific tone he uses, so does Flea, Cliff Burton, Sheehan, Entwisle... You get the point, every bassist has a specific tone they aim for to meld with the music. I couldn't just plug in a ODB-3 and crank out metallic tones or an octave phaser and have it blend well with the tonality of my band mates cause it would contrast too much
