Request: Brutal bass sound?

Can't get a really aggressive, yet still good, bass sound. I'm using an OLP Stingray-a-like, and I want a sort of Tool-ish sound..anyone?
 
Hmm, Im interested in this aswell.... i'm struggling to get punchy agressive bass sounds out of the axe.
 
This worked for the sounds I was looking for:

SVT with bright and drive knobs pulled. Gain to taste. Amp sends to a 8x10 as well as the 1x15 for bass (forget the model name). Pushing the front of the amp with a FET boost, and a GEQ afterward to tweak some EQ.

The FET boost really seems to help the low end.

i am, however able to get a warm, deep, loving sound. Clawfinger, you got something to say?=)

Well, finally I went in here, so of course! ;)

I made a split at the first block where one row goes to the Shred dist (Rat works fine too) into a Marshall cab with a HP at 300 or so (from memory). The other row goes to the SVT with a warm cosy 20hz earth shaking sound. Blend those and voilá!

The other one I made was basically a OD drive into an GEQ with a \/\-shape, more or less, low point at 500Hz and 8kHz into an Ampeg IR. Add another EQ after to mold it into perfection. The drive pedal does all the grind.
