how to nail this bass tone/overdrive?

[bovine mind]

not sure which forum this would be best posted in, but i'm trying to figure out how to EQ my bass and overdrive to get this tone:

the bass tone is throaty and punchy, with a slightly overdriven but a very defined tone. kind of has that classic touch n go, shellac, etc sort of bass crunch.

i play a stingray 4 with a hematoma OD through a 4x10 and 1x15 via SWR 400s amp.

any ideas on approaching that sound?

hello, thanks for the link - cool band.
first up I would check you got some nice new stainless steel strings on your bass, they help a lot for that mettalic shine. ( I use dean markley super rounds for what its worth 45-105)

low OD settings on the pedal but perhaps a lot of output gain to hit the input of the swr a bit harder than normal. and / or experiment with the input gain of the SWR a little.

experiment with picking positions just infront of, directly above, or just behind the pick up,

do all these things at loud volumes with a drummer in the room.

the bass player in the video has a jazz bass, which does a lot for that tone, but that middish punchy tone should work well with the music man too.

good luck, hope any of this helps.
