Whats the output though? Could it handle this without lowering sound output?

I would only choose the WTB1000 cause it seems to be the only head unit with a graphic E.Q which I rely heavily on to scoop mid ranges and boost the processes and effects from my foot channels

Outboard graphics are usually superior to graphics combo'd into an amp, but apparently you don't understand what a parametric EQ is?

You're missing the point, the genre I play is all about how muddy and fuzzy I can get a sound so even though I use foot switchable channels I need an authentic amp driven sound so an in house graphic E.Q and "low" bypass allows me to achieve a much thicker, denser tone than just relying on let's say a mixer to do those sounds for me.

Only time I actually run the amps through a mixer is either for recording purposes or if I'm playing in a venue where that is necessary for house sound cause the acoustics are terrible.

You're talking crazy. Most serious bassists have a graphic and a compressor in a gigging rackmount to compliment their amp. You may as well plug straight into the PA if yer gonna rely on the sound man for your EQ.

Plug straight into the PA and lose my entire low end? Like you said MOST serious bassists, I prefer the raw sound of my amplifier with as little mixing from outside sources as possible (Sound engineer, Mixer, Etc) cause I want to go for an authentic warm vintage sound, and when I add in several compressors, mixers, E.Q modules I end up sounding too modern or lose that "sludge" edge.

Like I said, I use SVT-4 Pro just to bi-amp because the power load, generally I'm running through SunnO))) and matamps because that gives me a raw vintage 70's sound and the matamp allows me to completely cut the midrange and treble so I can get as sludgy as I wanna get

You JUST said you use in house graphics for your low end..

I was making fun of plugging into the board..

You're confusing yourself.

Also, nobody cares about your tone.
