I've tried other electric bass plugins, and they don't compare. Modo Bass actually sounds like a bass and comes with many different features that allow you to adjust the tone and the number of strings. Without any other plugins, the sounds coming from this plugin are pleasant. I love how easy it is to use, and yet it is very versatile. While it won't replace a good bassist with an actual bass, it comes pretty close and often gives me the sounds I want without reaching for a physical bass.
