Killer bass sound hear it now

Hi there,

Have you ever achieve this sound? It has been recorded in the Telefunken studio in US, surprisingly not with an old tube ampeg amp with a vintage mic but with a DI in the mixer. It's kind of dirty. I hear extra low frequency rumble, like a speaker cone vibration. Since it's coming directly from the instrument, what makes that very good sound? The part is played mostly on the B string which helps. But what else? What is your advice? The strings? The instrument? The pickups? I made some experiments and found a few tricks that I will share tomorrow. (The audio file starts after a few seconds)

Thanks for your input.

Mike
