It has really cool effects like translating velocity on a midi keyboard into legato, staccato, slides and other bass playing styles.

EBX Classic Rock (1) An in-your-face Bass. It seems gone from Steinberg’s own FTP now, but Google “Steinberg VB1” and you will find lots of download links. In my ears it sounds quite decent and you don’t hear much of the bass in metal anyway (you mostly notice something is missing if you take it out) :-D. It has a few settings that affect its sound – tone, pickup placement and plectrum position. Is it any good? Hard to say, but it is actually mentioned quite often on forums as a good free alternative. Steinberg, the company behind the industry plugin standard VST has released a pretty basic bass VST for free, probably because its a couple of years since it was updated. There are however also a number of bass VST alternatives for those that don’t have a bass player. For drums there are excellent VST plugs, foremost the Swedish Drumkit from Hell (which I use myself) and it’s big brother Superior Drummer.
To make a song as a bedroom guitarist you need someone to play the other instruments, you know the ones us guitarists don’t care so much about: bass and drums.
