Should be do-able with your ESP. It'll depend on your front end though. What would you be recording the bass through? (pres, comps)
I compressed the DI feed on the way in using the Buzz ARCs compressor, it is killer on bass.
In the mix I added a touch more compression to both DI and Mic using Waves Renaissance Comp and their bass guitar preset believe it or not. Works pretty well.
I then subgrouped both channels and dialed in about 4-5db of 'clank' and 'pluck'.
It works great for plucky or slap sounds, on one of the other songs we mixed the bassist slaps a lot and it really cuts through the mix.

Cool. The band will be blown away that someone is digging their stuff in the states.
