I'm using a 15'' combo and a P bass

Turn the tone all the way up on your P-bass, pick at the bridge, turn your mids up just a tad, the character down a smidge, put the high and low at noon, and add a small helping of drive.
YMMV.
YMMV.
but thanks for answering anyway
That's what I would do, but with more bass boost, Character at 9-10:00, mids at noon or a bit higher. Drive around 10:00 maybe?
What kind of strings do you have? You won't get there without some newish grindy rounds like Rotos or Lo Riders, IMO.
need more help with my VT settings! Now I'm after this sound
BTW I got close to the cranked SVT sound (thanks for all yor comments
), but I find that the pedal's sound lacks something and doesn't quite achieve the exact same sound. Anyway, any idea of how I can get the new sound I'm looking for?

Anyway, any idea of how I can get the new sound I'm looking for?Chris Cain uses a sansamp as his amp, so this should be pretty accurate. He uses a thunderbird and picks near the neck. Other then that I don't know.
What do you know, someone asking "how do I get this tone" for a tone that's actually worth trying to get.
Anyway, I would suggest setting your character knob around 10:00-11:00, mids boosted a touch, bass pretty much flat, maybe a little boost, treble cut a little, and gain set around, say, 1:00, depending on how hot your bass is. Play with a pick, and maybe roll off the tone on your bass.
