That is exactly what I was going to suggest when reading your first return post.

Only I would find one good note out of the Realtracks bass and then put that into the software analyzer and compare results to the same note plucked in the same fashion to find out what frequency bands or range is missing, or possibly which ones there are too much of.

Then I'd have a place to stand in order to design up some EQ tailoring possibilities in the preamp.

Of course, it might be the case where there are frequencies totally MISSING in your prototype, which would be a problem since we can't amplify a band that is not there in the first place, but first things first. It might be a situation where a bit of physical changes in something on your prototype may bring out those freqs, you see.

If you want to do it using your ears, that can work as well, provided you can ballpark the frequency bands. Might insert a graphic EQ onto your bass signal path, either a hardware one in realtime or a software plugin after the fact and play around with the shaping while listening. Compare to the "target" realtrack sample bass.
