Heaviest bass tone EVER? Overdrive + Distortion + Sub Octave = AWESOME!

Haven't posted anything in ages so here's something definitely different for me. Huge departure from the usual tones for sure :) Here's a mid 80's Ibanez RB 760 bass with a P+J configuration (the P bass pickup looks like a huge humbucker from a distance but it isn't, I swear!) The bass is setup perfectly for playing with a pick. I'm playing through a Boss GT-10B bass processor / preamp on factory patch "LEADBASS." It's a tone that has a heavily overdriven amp with a guitar distortion pedal and low octave going plus the clean tone of the bass. It's a combination that's fun for hours. Tired of that guitarist with the full Marshall or Boogie stack givin' you hell with his volume? Turn this beast tone up to 2 or 300 watts and send it back at 'em! Who needs a 5 or 6 string with this tone?
Not sure how something like this might sit in a mix but it sure as hell is fun solo!
