Ive studied his gear in a bit of a geeky way.  Obviously I don't know studio wise but generally he uses a flats loaded P bass through an Ampeg valve rig.  I would guess there is a few thousand pound worth of studio gear that is certainly helping

Let's forget the studio gear! I reckon some time spent with a VT Bass would be well spent. In my opinion it does that SVT thing really well. And it doesn't even have any valves in it.

Yep, VT Bass is the daddy for replicating trusty Ampeg tones.
