Bass: impulses or just Ampeg SVX?

[locus_coeruleus]

I'm trying to get a half decent bass tone, but I can't quite get something I like. I was wondering how most of you that don't have cabs do it. Are you using Ampeg SVX's impulses or external impulses + SVX cabs (or whatever other amp sim you may like)?

I really don't like SVX to be honest. Too warm and round sounding. Much prefer using the Sansamp plugin or the bass models in POD Farm.

Try using a sansamp INFRONT of svx... Works magic. I didn't like the pluging at first either, but a few tweaks, and knowing how to dial in a good bass tone--- It'll work amazing wonders.

I don't recommend IR's on bass. Never really worked that well TBH.

But do you use anything as a cab sim or you just throw in the sansamp?

Gonna try that. What cab do you use in SVX?
