Description: Only my Ibanez EHB1505 MS-BIF bass with the Empress Bass MKII compressor and the Tech21 SansAmp BDDI v2 preamp pedals.

After more than 15 years of not playing bass, I started playing again. The song is not in its final form, we don't have a vocalist, but I'm curious if you like the bass sound.  It's more of a test to see what I can get out of the effects (Origin and Darkglass effects) and Focusrite.
I recorded the bass with high compression ratio (10:1), 5.1ms Attack and 73ms Release, and real NY Style compression with full dry signal blend in.
Music composed by Eduard Covacic and Supernova (Coman Norbert and Lori Sirgher).

Supernova Instinct Double Bass High Compression

Another instrumental demo by the band Supernova (Eduard Covacic, Coman Norbert, Lori Sirgher).
Being incomplete, without a vocalist, it's just a demo. 
I tried to do a little mastering, in the sense that I compressed and put an EQ, but I'm just learning to use the Focusrite audio interface and Reaper.

Supernova - At Your Funeral (Demo)

Only my Ibanez EHB1505 MS-BIF bass with Origin Effects pedals (Cali76, DCX and Super Vintage.

I'm looking for a massive and heavily distorted slap bass sound for the progressive metalcore band I play with.

I was a bass player 15 years ago, I played blues, funk, reggae, yacht rock (AOR), rap-metal and jazz. 
For a while I played jazz with Harry Tavitian, but after I started my PhD studies I gave up music. 
A year ago some friends convinced me to take up bass again and here I am.
