It was a nice step up cause it was almost an intermediate guitar and sounded really well. I don't play it anymore because I find that the neck isnt fast enough.

Definitely not a beginners bass, but not an advanced/experienced bass.

My taste in tone changed considerably and I found myself using the bridge pickup almost exclusively.

More recently I fit an EMG PJ pickup set. The neck pickups have more midrange to them compared to the Yamaha passives. This better suits my tastes, YMMV.

Probably not worth modifying too much considering an entry level MTD is around the $1000 mark, also consider a Warmoth or Carvin. However you can still modify those as well.

For an entry level bass, seeing as they're $300 or less in good shape, you can't go wrong.

Other tidbits: On the topic of the Boss pedal, I can't stand the thing, sounds too digital. Even the synthesizers sounds forced and harsh. The Fender amp, probably not worth the effort involved. Aim 50-100W at minimum. The SWR has worked out well, but those look to be a thing of the past after being acquired by Fender.
