Much of the sound of a recorded bass is in the fingers and how you play it, keeping the notes the right length and including rests is important.


What has worked for me is using a sansamp RBI with a compressor in the insert set to a mild compression. Then you play "to the compressor" which results in a more precise recording. I also take a dry out from the sansamp and mix the two tracks together.

I suspect the OP is just not used to fingerstyle playing, which is different to pick playing in that it is a lot less forgiving if your technique is not quite up to speed.
