I'm creating a new thread to answer those two questions. Just to keep things all tidy. Yes, that must be my Swiss genes taking control again...

Whew, at $275.00 a pop I hope they are good.

You'll never need another shirt. I've haven't changed mine in years!

On topic, another cool bass tone trick is to bus the output of the bass to an amp/cabinet sim so that you can mix amounts of both the DI and mic'd signal together. While this isn't exactly CPU-efficient (well, depending on which amp sim you use of course) it's a great way to get a balance between the dryness of the DI signal and the ambience that the amp sim creates.

Please suggest how to get a bass sound like this :

The drumloop is pretty heavy, and all other sounds take enough space of the mix, but I can stiil hear the bass perfectly clear, and without any distortion or rumbling. What tricks does he apply?

It sounds like the treble and a lot of the mids have been rolled off. You can also use some compression to help achieve that sound.
