One thing to keep in mind: with no plugin (at least I stick to it) you'll be able to recreate 100% authentic sound of a bass player with real bass.
You can make it sound great and close to the real bass player in a mix. Obviously playing bass solos on it is not the best idea.
So if you want bass sounds that can be close to the real bass player in a mix - this one is great. Otherwise it's still better to get work done by real bass player.
