I sent this to the Joey Sturgis forum too, but since I don't mind sharing, I want you guys to give it a shot too with whatever processing you see fit 
Also to educate other people too, tell us what you did!
The tempo is 115, here is a wav reference mix (including C4 and L2 in the master, mainly just to make it louder)
The mp3 version is here: [soundcloud]http://www.soundcloud.com/ahjteam/water[/soundcloud]
Here is my processed bass tone as a reference from the mix (when I looked at the waveform, the limiting looks pretty severe) Your goal is to make a better tone than this that fits the mix, naturally
Here is the bass DI (it's clipping very briefly on loudest hits on some occasions, but that already came on the tracking stage)
and here is the backing track without bass
Some info about the bass DI track... Composed of 3 takes, no other editing other than crossfades. The bass is a $200 piece of shit ESP LTD B-50 Then it went to Radial J48 di-box and SPL Track One preamp where I applied some gain and compression, and that's pretty much it, then it went to one of the inputs on my M-Audio Profire.
On the processed track I have Camel Audio CamelCrusher (otherwise default settings except the "phat mode" is off), then Tal Tube (default settings), EQ (highpass at 60hz, lots of cutting in the 200-750hz region and a lowpass at 8khz), and limiter (3-6dB gain reduction)
