Whats a good synth for nice BASS?

Just wondering if anyone knows a good synth for Bass.. I only have the Supernova and the bass is alright,, but I need better. Anyone use the super bass station? or somehting else like it? thanks for any help.

I hear roland juno and jp synths are good for basses...

ok, thanks for the info. I actually tried the JP8080 before (i think it was that one..) and it was pretty decent. any other ideas people?

Access Virus B or C

or why not try the Roland JV2080

im using a JP8000 and i think its great!

Chrono, at long & macquade they sell the access virus rack for $1500... that's an incredible price for a virus. It's basically a virus b with a little bit knocked off and not too many tweakable knobs. But it includes SoundDiver, so you can edit all the parameters on your computer screen.

Hey Chrono what do you think of the supernova overall, ive got a nova. WHich is good, but im not too keen on the trance noises it comes out with - leads + especially bass.

Have you tried using a soft synth for the bass e.g. pro 52??? Ive never really found the perfect bass noise on it yet. I suppose ill edit for a bit more!

I really like the sounds, they're pretty good. I made a really nice string sound with it, and it sounds amzazing. very good leads in my opinion, nice effects two. I am very satisfied with this synth.. but would like an aditional one .. especially for the bass. I recommend the pro expansion to 44 voices if you want really rich sounds on the supernova. I upgraded the operating system (free from their site) and it comes with a nice unison feature. this makes strings and leads really deep and rich, but it eats up the polyphony.

obviously you can't beat the 303 for bass. I love my virus b too. Juno 106 is decent, not quite thick enough for me though.
