How do I get this bass tone?

[Mithriddle]

Just wondering what kind of amp settings I'd need to achieve a bass tone fairly similar to this:


I have a Line 6 LD15 amp and a P bass.

Cheers

Sounds like flatwound strings,and although I couldn't see one on the bass, maybe a foam mute at the bridge. Also, I've gotten a similar pick attack by (using a pick of course) and compression.

Flatwounds

Being out of tune might help, too.

yeah, surprisingly not so tight.

on the sound side, use a P bass, flatwounds and roll off the bass and highs (although the flats should do the highs for you) and you'll be left with a fat mid hump, use a pick and add volume to taste.

Not really my style, personally I'd be upset if my tone sounded like that, each to their own Hope that gets you a bit closer to that sound

I think that tone sounds good within the context of the rest of that band.
Would not sound good with most guitarists I get to play with.
Kinda makes me want to buy a P with flats.

P bass / flatwounds (probably Chromes) / and a pick.

flats, palm muting, pick. make sure you rush the pocket as well
