bass distortion

[machinevos]

Hi i'm trying to recreate a sound from the nexus examples.

I really like the "drive/distortion" that has been put on the bass in this example
youtube dot com slash watch?v=Qp0M8uEdJuE

Now i've tried every eq, drive, gain distortion out there and it just wont sound the same

Can anyone tell me by ear what kind of effect is on the bass.

Cause it sounds like distortion/overdrive/gain, but whithout it becoming "muddy".

I already a lot with the eq, but it seems as though there is another effect.
I dying to find out what this effect is because it sounds really cool.

I'm not familiar with the example, but I would start with serial distortion of the mid and hi range frequencies.
Start small then work your way towards the goal. IME distortion works best on mid-hi frequencies, without cranking it trying to attempt the end result with one instance of a plugin or effect...use one instance of distortion, then add another to build on that, then continue. Some saturation may help. Good Luck.
