Here is the patch I've been tweaking for a while now. I still don't have it exactly where I want it (still sounds a little to electronic) but that may take months achieve so I figured I'd give it up now. It doesn't matter which effect you edit because it's a pretty drastic change anyway.
This is pretty much an edgy guitar sound with heavy distortion. There isn't a whole lot of bass in it but isn't that what a bass guitar is for anyway?

Noise Suppressor: what ever levels you need to stop the annoying buzzing.

Also remember to turn the master reverb off. Reverb just makes it sound messy (this is also key when panning hard left or right, the reverb makes it seem like the sound is bleeding across the speakers).

I hope people find this useful (and return the favor).
