When using distortion on bass guitar, be sure to apply a filter on the low and high end.
Your focus should be on the mid frequencies if you want to keep the low fundamentals crisp and clear.
Try rolling off the low end up to 400Hz and cut the top end down to 3-4KHz. There shouldn't be much frequency content in the high end other than some finger/pick definition, this is bass guitar after all.
Apply your chosen distortion with an EQ filter before it and your distortion will only affect the frequencies you want it to. Distort those mids for cutting bass guitar!
