I also agree all this really depeneds on your bass players sound and how he plays . If the bass player is from the follow the guitar school then a dark sound can be great to create a massive,unified sound . but if you bass player also likes to mess with the melody allot then you really have to get out of each others way so those notes are heard .
If your bass player can only follow you, you need a new bass player :lol:. You have to bring something to the band besides mere sonic reinforcement.
Dark is just a lack of treble/upper range overtones.
I agree personally. the bass player I play with is great at filling out the songs with so many ideas . but a 1 guitar and bass band they need to
That said, some bands/styles the follow the guitar root note thing works well
