Line6 Metal Shop? - Bass Recording?

[Jan [MTW]]

Hi,
I just got my "Line 6 Studio Pod GX" and now i want to learn something
about recording, so that I can record my own Songs!
...
I don't really like the Amps of the normal Pod Farm so i am wondering if
the Metal Shop Addon would be a good choice?!
Is it worth the 25$ or could I get better results with free Plugins like
the Tse x30 + IR's?

Of course I also need Bass in my Recordings.
Would it be a good idea to Record my Guitar trough a Bass amp of Pod Farm
and then turn the pitch down?
Or is a Bass VSTi the better choice?

Oh and "Hello" to everybody!
