I just know that it's a Eurorack. Anyone know the exact one, or could find something comparable on this page since that one's a few years old now?

Wowza, that thing looks old school.
Are you wanting to know exactly which model or for a suitable replacement?
I don't know much about Behringer mixers, but if you could send a screencap to Behringer customer service, I bet they'd know pretty qucikly.
EDIT: And just from looking at it, the UB1222FX model is going to be the closest thing you'll find with current Behringer products on MF.

A suitable replacement would be fine I guess. Don't know much about mixers, but I was talking to the guy (he doesn't seem to remember which one it is exactly, grr) and he says that the mixer is a huge reason he has the tone he has. Our bass is the same and we have almost exactly the same amp set-up, so I figure I should get one for myself.

Does his mixer have effects built-in? I'd ask him if it does. If it doesn't, a mixer doesn't do much except volume, panning, and EQing. You should, if he doesn't have effects running, be able to get his tone with a simple EQ added wherever into the chain that guy has his mixer placed. Also try to get his mixer EQ settings.
I personally wouldn't waste my money on a big, expensive mixer if I was just trying to get a FOB tone.

The mixer would have an effect on his tone. However, I wouldn't classify anything Behringer makes as having a positive impact.
More than likely he's using it with a DI box for the Mixer's less than excellent Mic preamps so he can get his signal up to Line Level so he can record it.
If what I just said makes no sense: The mixer makes no difference except you get a crappy EQ. He's only using it so he can record.

I call shenanigans on him.
I don't believe that the mixer is really anything for the tone that couldn't be at the very least approximated with the EQ on your amp already. Looking at the setup, it seems like he's only using it for EQ anyways, and the EQ on those mixers is pretty lame to begin with... so... Redundancy ftw.
Whether I EQ with my bass, an EQ pedal, a mixer, or my amp I am still EQing the signal. If you don't use any effects, it's not going to make a noticeable difference where in the signal chain I EQ it and with what. If you are using effects, the story changes, but with what he's doing it wouldn't make a difference anyways so I won't get into it.
IMO don't waste your money, it's not going to really do anything you can't do already.
