Crappy sound with my bass. Why?

Hello to all,

I cannot get any optimal sound from my bass when I connect it to the system (mixer Phonic, very simple, Sound Card Audiophile 2492 and Cubase vst 5). The sound I get is metallic, low and without deepness.

To amplify the signal, I pluged the bass on my Multiefect Digitech RP7 guitar pedal (on bypass), but the sound is still poor.

I tried to overcome the nasty effect by equalizing it on Cubase, but I have no experience yet to do it right, in case it could be done through software.

Any ideas? Is there any specific device which takes care of giving consistency to basses?. Is it possible to do this via software?. How do you connect your bass in your system?

Thank you so much in advance.
 
You need a pre amp like bass POD. There are lots of units out there with amp and speaker simulation. The metalic sound could also be the bass, itself. Does it sound could Plugged in in other situations? Need more info.
 
You need a DI (direct in) box to bring your bass' signal level to that which is adequate for you sound card. Many pre-amps have them, the Bass POD has one (i believe.) I use a SansAmp Direct In BassDriver. MXR makes a DI box, and I think behringer might even make one as well.
