Sometimes I think the best thing to do is to produce the entire project, then add the bass at the very end.

Pretty much what Paul did in the Beatles (and probably still does).

Hire Victor Wooten or you can get Ample Sound basses that come with patterns/grooves.

The search goes on....

hey, i'm a bass player!
 

That's good to know...I'm a guitar player and a bagpiper, although I haven't played the pipes much lately...
 

This is my solution:  Create a 1/4 note click-track, record my strat through MidiGuitar2 and through Amplitube 4:  I think I can work that way.  Also, I should spend a day creating templates for different tempos, 40, 60, 80 100, 120, 150, to include: track setups for AD2 all routed to separate tracks; Bass- 2 tracks; percussion - 2 tracks, and 5 additional free audio tracks.
This will save me even more time.  I'm wondering if I should take an online course from Berklee online on basic SONAR or on SONAR sound processing.  I get lost in it sometimes.   Been doing this a long time, but it's way more complicated than it was 20 years ago, and I don't want to lose the basics - hardware settings, busses, meters, and basic stereo principles.
 

Groove3 has a number of good courses on SONAR. Check out their BF special. You should be able to find a 1 year subscription for 1/2 price ($75).
