Why these settings

Your rig consists of a bass amplifier and a bass guitar—neither is designed for electric guitar tones. The Katana 210 Bass lacks the guitar amp modeling, presence control, reverb, and mid-forward voicing needed for fusion guitar. The SR605E's active bass pickups and extended low range cannot replicate the SG2000's midrange bark and high-end chime. The settings above are a best-effort approximation: mids boosted to compensate for bass-amp scooping, treble moderate to avoid harshness, gain minimal for cleanliness. However, this will not sound like Noro's tone.

PRO TIPTo actually achieve this tone, you need a guitar (any humbucker-equipped electric guitar) and a guitar amplifier or modeler. A Boss Katana 50 or 100 on the Clean channel with a flanger and short delay would get you 80% there. Your current rig is fundamentally mismatched for this purpose.
