Listening to your YouTube samples, I realised I'm thinking of a different sort of tone.
For anyone who is interested, this is the sort of thing I had in mind:
I was just excited as I've always wanted to know how to get "that" sound myself. Didn't listen properly to your samples - the Bardot sounds like an upright to me but the Gainsbourg has it but without the same treble/click content as the Stereolab (the Dots & loops is one of my favourite albums btw).
Seriously though, try some foam or even a scarf or something under the strings. You'll get the attack but a very muted "thwock" and no sustain that sounds very 60s to my ears. I would do a sample on my cheap Yamaha bass but I'm knackered and off to bed. Will try and record something tomorrow, if it helps?
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
