I had a SansAmp as well at some point. The key to those is that you can actually blend some OD with the clean tone. Otherwise, they just sound like a colored DI-box with an analog cab-sim.
The thing about emphasizing the clank without any distortion is you're left with a bass tone whose waveform pretty much looks like a drum, LOL. Even those funk slap tones are compressed to hell and back.
You don't have to overdo the distortion, man. Just trust me. Add just a hint and just blend it in behind the clean tone. You'd be surprised to hear how good it sounds without actually sounding like Lemmy.
Plenty of overdriven grit on these tones.
