Synth bass is a whole other animal and is lots of fun on some songs like Mony Mony.Thomas Skarbye is a highly regarded bassist whose sound design brand has become synonymous with quality and playability. I'm talking the ones that try to be real bass. 90% of the synth bass patches sound like a tuned fart to me. I didn't like any of those Gibson basses, But then I never liked Gibson Basses anyhow. I would never use the SI on an album but it certainly works for Backing tracks and quick demos. but I'm fussy and I hate string squeaks and pops so certain lines come out tighter and cleaner when using midi. "Did I play real bass or is that the SI?" The sound is very good for backing tracks, I can play a more interesting line on the real bass, I'm a bass player, not a keyboardist. I have trouble telling the difference sometimes when I listen. I tweaked it just a little EQ wise, but not much.
So I'm in the process of updating all my backing tracks to real bass, But in the mean time I have very good results using the SI Bass and the Jazz Bass patch. Over time I keep changing my pre amp, or I upgraded my Pups etc. But now I'm faced with using Wave recordings and it becomes challenging especially with real bass. In the past this was simple with midi velocity set at 90 and using the same patch. For album recordings the sound can change from song to song, but for my backing tracks I need it to be the same from song to song. I mostly record real bass using a customized Yamaha. I, of course, am a cheap/broke arsed SOB. My philosophy is always try to use the tools you have before hunting around for/dropping cash on/spending time learning something new until it becomes COMPLETELY clear those tools aren't up to the task. If you did NOT have a membership at the time then I think it's for sale in the Cake store and again will likely goes on sale from time to time. It's an equally nice (and again created by Craig Anderton) sample pack using a Steinberger (much snappier/brighter/modern tone than the EB5).
Oh and check your account for the Brian Hardgroove pack for Rapture (if you had a membership when that was added as a freebie). Of course if you own something like Kontakt there'll be a mountain of useable stuff in there too. The IK bass thingies are supposed to be quite nice as well but really I got what I need for bass sounds already with the tools I have. Kind of modern style bass (which seems to get further and further away from the real thing even on rock. Again a nice sound that responds well but not quite as realistic as the EB5 or even SI VSTi's.

I however own Zeta+2 which is a separate upgrade so I'm not sure if that patch comes with the basic Zeta banks in SPlat. It's called "Picked Alembic" (caught my attention because of our ole pal bapu). My old "go to" bass sound though when I was just starting out with Sonar was a specific patch in the Zeta+ banks. For simple stuff it can be quite nice with a little tweaking of the internal controls (and proper processing). Alternatively, as suggested, SI bass is actually quite nice and again responds to normal bass processing like the real thing would.
it's just a nice, cost effective answer that will work in what you already have (DimPro). Essentially play the part live, convert to MIDI using ARA (and clean up the resulting MIDI) then blend it with my live signal track. What I'm going to be using it for is as bass "support" for my live tracks. I've only got to REALLY use it once for whole tune where the bass was entirely MIDI but it worked great. It cuts through a mix exactly how you want a bass to with minimal effort and as I said slides into pretty much most styles/genres. I won't go into ultra detail about that) and it responds BEAUTIFULLY just like a really nice live bass track would. I play bass myself (almost as long as I've played guit actually) and usually play my own tracks but I've run the EB5 samples through various common bass effects chains (sims, compression, limiting, EQing, etc. It's just a really good package for nice, realistic bass synthesis. And I don't say this to boost Cake or my bud Craig.

It should still be in the Cake store and I think goes on special from time time (not sure what full price is but I don't think it's even that much anyway for what you get). It sounds EXCELLENT and since he took the time to proper sample it with all the pickup configs it's pretty versatile for many styles. You should seriously check out the Craig Anderton Gibson EB5 sample bank for DimPro.
