    Izotope Trash is one option. I use an the Ampeg/Amplitube amp sims and just use the gain on the amp to get distortion on the bass (or guitar) as you would with a real bass or guitar.

    Camel Crusher.. also free..
    and a bit of Cakewalk FX2 Tapesim..

    I am amazed how positive distortion can work on a bass within a mix..

    Big +1 on that. Unless you're going for an obvious distortion / fuzz thing that Tape Sim is free and perfect for grunging up the track a bit.
