Assuming that you are happy with your amp or sim raw sound there are a host of great fx for sculpting the tone.
Many thanks for your ideas Bud.
For now I'm going to explore and use the Studio One bundled plug-ins to refine my bass sculpting process with guidance from the likes of Kenny Gioia. I think what I'll eventually end up with is a working understanding of how to produce a clean, fat tone, a distortion-driven, gritty tone and tones in between.
Today I found a vid dealing directly on Studio One. The funny thing is that for a video on EQing audio, I notice there is a portion muted beginning around 11:50. Nonetheless, like Kenny, I think Joe Gilder make several good points.
