ok, for those who haven’t heard about it: Ampeg SVX from ik multimedia.
once i heard about it i was kind of sceptcal but once i bought it.. wow.
 
the ampeg plug is not only useable for heavily distorted sounds, it goes from bob marley thru sting to meshuggah with ease!!
 
it’s quite expensive but I reckon, if i can find ONE sound out of it.. it’s still cheaper than any quality bass rig out there.
 
oh, since the language in this thread is quite radical: .. buy this plug dudez!! it’z figgin RAD! do NOT keeps it on the DL.
