I'm looking for a tool dedicated to EQ, tone, compression, etc for bass guitar, anyone know of such a thing?
 
Thanks - rev

There's like 1,000 of them.
 
Depending on your need for flexibility and total control vs. getting something that makes everything super user easy you have different paths to investigate.
 
As far as looking for something easy and sort of all in one for what you're asking, there are several offerings from Waves that have specific "bass" modules with all of those things in one module.
 
Examples are in the signature series offerings from Waves, such as the Eddie Kramer Signature Series (look at the Eddie Kramer Bass Channel module) or the Maserati, or the JJP Bass module.
 
Those are a few starting ideas of plugins that have it all nicely combined for you.  If you want more control there are totally different paths to investigate.

If you got TH2 with Sonar (any of the lite versions) I think you may qualify for a discounted upgrade price for Overloud MarkII Bass which is supposedly really good.
 
I could be wrong on that. I got the discount for the full version of TH2 because of my Sonar purchase(s) and I can now get MarkII Bass for significantly less (haven't checked for a while but I think $100).
 
However you have been here for a while so you may have owned previous versions of Sonar which included GR4 which I think included the BassPro emulation. That has many of the tools you need for bass (multiple band EQ, drive and I think compression but Sonar has better compressors anyway you can add on).
 
I've found though if your DI bass signal is good enough you can do a lot with it using the basic Sonar tools without a sim. Cloning the DI track three times and setting up one track to bring focus on the ultra low rumble, the second for click attack and a third to add drive... then blending them together can get a pretty good sound for all sorts of stuff. This is all using the Quadcurve EQ, two stage compression and the Tube Sat/Softube Sat modules. FX Bin/Rack stuff can help it all along (like using a guit sim for your drive channel).
 
Getting a good bass sound from a dry signal is actually pretty easy. Getting it to sit in the mix is the hard part and there are a LOT of factors to that.
 
If you wanted DIY you could provide more details of what you need and I'm sure the smart fellows here could give you ideas (or try the Techniques subforum).
 
Cheers.

BTW... the GR BassPro is modeled after an Ampeg SVT Pro series amp. Anyone who has played through one in real life knows these are very flexible. The sim version, based on your input signal, will require a little help but you do get a massive amount of sound sculpting options for bass within the model itself. Check it out and you may save yourself some money.

Cheers.

One wellknown and liked is Waves Renaissance Bass(RBass) or MaxxBass which has same technology but more options(but also a bit more difficult to master).
 
I also like Waves VEQ4 - which is just a EQ really, but can be driven nicely to get good clean or distorted like amped sound - even from a lined bass.
 
As always, Waves stuff you only buy on campaigns and preferably at retailers like AudioDeluxe. RBass is quite often on discount by itself, but Maxx Bass and VEQ series and 30 other plugins are in Gold bundle - which quite often is down below $300-350. If that never is in your budget, look through what might be worth waiting for.

Overloud Mark Studio 2!!! It has become my "can't leave home without it!!!" favorite goto. I can't say enough about it.

EZ Mix 2 (Toontrack) has a lot of presets for bass (as well as presets for a lot of other things)—although my personal main use for EX Mix is kick drum and master bus compression.
 
Guitar Rig is pretty hard to beat.

Mark Studio 2/Guitar Rig.

Ya'll makin' me jelli of your Double Marks.

There are four CA-X Series bass amps included with Artist, Professional, and Platinum. Might as well start with those, they're free and pretty much "plug and play."
 
However you're giving me an idea for some more pedalboards, similar to the ones for guitar in Dorchester
