Sounds like it might do the trick for you. The Character feature is a bass enhance circuit that gives you a slight bump in low end, but centered above where the low end EQ is centered on your bass. It's very subtle, but that's exactly the point of this feature. It just rounds out your tone a bit, without the engineer thinking you just boosted the bass. If you didn't know what this circuit did, it would be very hard for someone to guess what s actually going on. It really does just change the character of the instrument a bit.
The Bandwidth (what it is called now) control will roll off highs and deep lows at the same time. This effect is quite subtle to the ear, regardless of the dramatic change to the frequency response you see on a RTA. What it's doing is rolling off frequencies you really don't hear much and by doing so, tightens up the way your bass sits within the mix. Pulls some signal out of the kick drum and cymbal areas, which is very helpful for focusing your bass in the mix.
