What is it lacking in comparison to your rig sound? How are you recording? You might find that a speaker simulator will bring the sound out a bit better because sometimes bass direct from desk can sound a bit 'electronic' for want of a better word.
Always best to record with everything flat - you can always add eq and so on later, but it is much harder to take it away. As Rayfan said above, a bit of compression usually helps broaden things out but I always like a touch of reverb too and have the bass panned slightly to the left, just off the bass drum.
You should buy my pod XT pro really ;0)
