How can I get that cool "metallic" sound on my bass?

I'm assuming it's a pedal? Anyone know of a pedal that gives that cool sort of "metallic" sound, as opposed to the regular vanilla soft bass noise?

give an example of a song or something op

Its probably just gain

Get an overdrive or even a fuzz pedal

Boost the fuck out if them mids
Cut the bass a bit
Boost the highs a bit
Bit of gain if your amp has it
Tone knob(s) all the way up
Play near the bridge

bridge pickup, tone all the way up

fresh strings
low action

how can you not know what I mean? Most rock songs have the slightly metallic sounding bass guitar. It sounds like a tiny bit of gain. When I play my bass, it just sounds like a regular old bass noise, nothing freaky about it (which is boring).

d'you mean playing slap bass

fresh strings are crucial for this
older than even just a month and you'll struggle to get that kind of sound

this for sure + play strongly and confidently

Flea just plays so hard, it starts to verdrive the pickups themselves, limpwristemonkeyfuck.
