Getting a modern tone from a P-bass

[Perrdawg]

Thanks for the replies so far. I appreciate the recommendations, but I was more asking what you would do in terms of non-invasive measures, from strings to EQ or using pedals like an external preamp, for example. FWIW, I have a minimal pedalboard with an HX Stomp, a 10-band EQ and a DI, and I can also throw in a JHS Colour Box and an SP Compressor if needed. The plan is to eventually buy an active 5 string, but I got this modern-begging gig right when I just sold my modern-ish bass and haven't yet bought a new one, so I'm stuck with only a P-bass at the moment.

Hi there, I'm thinking about selling a few pedals and switching to a small HX stomp board. Do you find the EQ pedal super useful? Or do you think you could somewhat easily get away without that too? Cheers!

Easiest IME is good amp EQ, especially one with parametric mids.
