Why these settings

Critical issue: You have a Fender Rumble bass amp and a Precision Bass — this is bass guitar gear, not the 6-string electric guitar rig used on the original recording. The Rumble's voicing is optimized for low frequencies (40-400Hz) and will not reproduce the bright 2-6kHz Telecaster snap and Twin Reverb chime that defines this tone. I've set the EQ to push upper mids and cut bass to approximate brightness, but this tone is fundamentally unobtainable without a 6-string guitar and guitar amp.

PRO TIPTo get anywhere close to the chicken-pickin' attack on bass, try playing near the bridge with fresh roundwound strings, palm-muting aggressively, and using a pick — but realistically, this song needs a Telecaster through a clean guitar amp to sound right.
