For punk, thrash, hardcore bass I usually go with DI that's slightly overdriving the line in. For a bass vst I would mimic this with a fast compressor into a soft clip and just enough gain into those to sound a bit dirty. Once it's in I like to use a giant peak in the 1-3khz range to bring out the attack. When using live amps I use a way pedal for this peak and record that very clean in parallel. I find that the voicing of the bass part is a big part of this sound. Generally things are playing an octave above the "deep" part of the bass register and adding body to the distorted guitars that way.
