(That applies to the 15"s even more than the 10"s - total crap.)

But back in the '80s they were THE sound to have - absolutely everybody seemed to be playing through Trace.
Was that just a collective failure of taste, or a lack of decent alternatives?

Football is rubbish.
In all seriousness, I think the problem is that many people listen with their eyes.

When I played guitar in a band with another bass player who used my AH250, she never used the GEQ either - but she liked to set it in some artistic shape and then leave it turned off, just to confuse people .
Once again that does apply only up to Series 6 though - I've never heard a later one that sounded all that good.
And I've never, ever played slap bass...

Even better, I just turned the GEQ off and got 'my sound' straight away, without needing to mess up the other chap's settings.
This is actually making me want another one... but the good ones are just so heavy, even for me.

I ended up picking up a cheap Ashdown Root Master C201T-420 to tide me over for the time being. It's slightly odd as it just says RM420 on the front of the combo while all the others I've seen are badged MAG420 but it seemed OK at rehearsal last night. Its small and light enough for my needs for now (I may change my mind after I've lugged it up and down stairs for a few weeks)!
I did like the look of the small TC Combos but was really put off by the fact they don't have a speaker out on the back (although actually I think the 2x8 might).
