I spent a while trying to get details on the Rumble setting of the Bronco. Lots of info on the Rumble & LOTS of info on the Bronco but not much on the Bronco's Rumble setting - I tried listening to demos but most were bad set ups or the player slapped & thumb thumped.
It's a solid state amplifier with digital models of many valve/tube amp included so the odds are there is, quite likely, some saturation/warmth/drive/ in the models. Why would you model one of them without it? However the Rumble is a solid state amp so there's likely none of those things in it unless introduced deliberately to the digital or solid state circuit.
I have a large Marshall 100w all valve Superbass MkII amp and it does clean very nicely but there's always a little tube in it. Usually played trough a 4x12 whih is a BIG sound.I also have an 80watt Jade Clubman bass amp that is all solid state with a footswitchable "distortion" circuit added to assist with a little poke in a live mix. The Jade is played through an HUGE Etone box with a single 15" speaker so it moved a lot of air and can get a very big bottom end in a room.
From your settings description you've cranked the bottom end, scooped the mids & lowered the top end. Looks like you'd need a gentle compressor on the way to your interface and then a gentler one in the computer after which some EQ will be the next step.
Maybe you should try the Lemmy Setting - he completely rolled of top & bottom while cranking the mids. JOKE of course.
Def a case of mild compression on the way in though as this will give you a move even recording to start to tweak. One of the most difficult aspects of recording and mixing bass is the unevenness of level due to the strings, variations in hand etc. I'd have thought the Bassman setting would've been already in the zone but I'm sure you've tried all of that.
One of the things in the vid's audio is that the bass is panned to the side so that it's not competing with anything for the bottom freqs AND there's no problem with it offerings some gentle high end for spatial clues. Panning it centre would've lost out on both through competition and the end result wouldn't sound as it does. In other words if you can approximate THAT TONE in isolation you may well lose it in a mix knowing, as we do, that many bassist resort to adding grit/warmth/saturation/harmonics to their stellar solo tone help their bass "cut through" the mix. Can you achieve it? Probably but, I suspect, you'd need a mix that replicated the one in the vid to leave you the space and tonality for it to work.
