AFIII Help me make my metal bass tone better (recordings inside Periphery/Karnivool)

I recorded some tones yesterday and they're my first attempt at metal bass tones. I think they;re OK at best so I'm looking for some tips on what they're missing and what could be done better.

Signal Chain is:
Dingwall NG3 - AxeFX Compressor - Darkglass Alpha Omega - AxeFX EQ - CabSim - Out

The tracks are played once with recording at -15dB, followed by the isolated bass track.

Recording:
 
The only thing I'm hearing is a need to clear up some of the mid/high-mid range so it competes less with where guitars and vocals sit. Like with every instrument in a mix, the best isolated tone is not the best tone in ensemble. So you could either EQ back from about 1k through 4k or use a mulit-band to limit the output in that region and then drop it back in the mix to see how it sounds.
