Need help creating a specific tone

[Branflakes]

I'm sorry if I come off as a total nub for asking this but I'm wondering what would be the perfect pedal/multi effect to creating a few different sounds:

Sound 1:
http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=mZVAH5lz05I
Bassist: David Ellefson

Sound 2:
http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=4h2jbhdmfi0
Bassist: David Ellefson

Sound 3:
http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=k65JYH531hc
Bassist: Frank Bello

Sound 4:
Anything Mike Dirnt sounding; song examples: Staurt and the Ave., Longview, and Chump.
Green Day^

Sound 5:
http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=AlHzC0WKY2c


Aiming for that punchy punk almost thrash sound y'know?

If it makes any difference the bass I'm using is a Ibanez GSR 200.

Maybe you should post this in the Effects section. That's where the pedal cats hang out.

Ellefson usually uses a pick. I cant speak for the others. Try using a pick, and playing with your eq a bit.
