Help identifying bass tone? (Arctic Monkeys)

[Julian Delphiki]

Hey all,

I was listening to the song Dance Little Liar by Arctic Monkeys and I was hoping someone could steer me in the direction of how to get the bass tone.

I believe their bassist plays P Basses, but I only have a J Bass. Thanks!

If I had a J bass, I would probably try to get that sound with flatwounds, turning the bridge pickup down all the way, and muting the strings slightly when playing with a pick... Ampwise, I'd turn down the high end a bit, make sure the lows are nice and present, and have a bit of compression and overdrive going (you can hear some slight overdrive on the bass in certain less-busy parts of the song)...
