Well... I kind of thought sharing would be irrelevant, since it's a very gear-specific solution. A 30,000 foot view is: My Fender Jazz into an Alesis Nano comp. Nano comp direct into my Yamaha AW 1600. An input parameter on the Yamaha that's set up a certain way using built in speaker emulation and more dynamics. Playing with a pick (I normally use fingers on bass parts). EQing out some high mids to reduce pick click. The result is a clear, low, punchy, full tone with just the right attack and resonance to blend nicely with a kick. Prior to this approach, my sound was often indistinct. The AW1600 gives me some very clear reproduction at 24bit. Better than I was getting recording to my Mac. However, I was always searching for better. Maybe it's the pick.

I have trouble recording and mixing bass, but I've just stumbled across a tried and true recipe.
Now _that's_ a leading statement. ;) Do tell!
