bass amp plugin- what do you use?
Title says it all really. What bass amp modulation plugin do you use and recommend for recording bass through di? What do you like/dislike about different plugins?

Re: bass amp plugin- what do you use?
IK Multimedia's AMPEG SVX and Sansamp. Those two along with Waves GTR stomps gives me everything I need.

Re: bass amp plugin- what do you use?
I don't record with any modeling whatsoever.
I record direct through a quality preamp, then add modeling after the fact. Sometimes nothing works as well as good old tried and true SansAmp. I also am known to use the IK Ampeg plug, and have also grown quite fond of Pod farm Platinum.

Re: bass amp plugin- what do you use?
I also start with a good DI recording. Then I use an AUX send to an AUX track for the amp sim. I started with sansamp, and it does a decent job. Then I got Amplitube and used a clean tube preamp and 50 watt tube power amp combination, and that was better. Now I have the Ampeg SVX and use what is really the classic SVT setup. That, mixed with the DI is really good(to me anyway). Add a little compression and EQ to the DI track and I am good to go

I run a SVT Classic/810E flat out in a concrete bunker lined with sand bags.

Re: bass amp plugin- what do you use?
He could make it nine. "She"s available.
A huge advantage of going the Clean DI route and then Re-Amping to flavor is the fact that your not vibrating and rattling everything in the room. That was the part about lining the bunker with sandbags. I've been holding out on buying IK's SVX hoping that they will come out with some 11 Bass modules but probably should just buy it.

Re: bass amp plugin- what do you use?
++1 on IK SVX plug on a DI'ed track... DI in my case is currently a Summit Audio chain... The 2ba into a tla50 which is currently beating out my lunchbox API, Purple Audio, Eisen neveish chains. But the SVX really let's you do a bunch more to the track... All in a good way.

I've found SVX to be the best. It's really easy to get a great bass sound without too much fuss. In a close second is Waves GTR3. Another thing I do is reamp the bass track thru a bass amp, but with all the plugins on the signal. So you get the same sound, but with a lot more balls. Then I just stack them up.
