JJ Burnel bass sound

[Lobotomy]

Anyone know what amp settings are good to get a sound like JJ?
I know he used a guitar amp with a blown speaker, but is there a way to get a similar sound with a bass amp?
Here's some examples of what I'm talking about: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5h6xVZHbz3Y

I think a P-Bass and a Pick are the number 1 and 2 things you need to master.

F**king MONSTER tone. I love JJ's tone.

BTW I love Hugh's guitar tone and playing as well.... And Jet's metronome playing......

a 40/60 mix of clean sound and heavy distortion usually works for me.

the mix on that video was terrible
there is no way that guy wanted to be that over the guitar

i think that tone sucks imo

They played a lot locally and many of my friends were musicians at the same time - the big thing somebody mentioned to me who knew him, was that J-J played a P-Bass with very low action, so a lot of what you are hearing is distorted string noise etc. - but used in a controlled manner!

Phillistine! That WAS the Stranglers 'sound', and the tone was awesome.

JJ is God, etc.
