I am trying a few bass vsts but I'm not liking them, a little too vanilla. I have the Sansamp clone and TSE BOD. I also can't seem to find a simple compressor vst. I am thinking I need to get Ampeg SVX, but thought I would check here first. I am a bassist and I usually choose Ampeg for modelling. Either the B15 or SVT. If I can find one without haveing to shell out 100 bucks, it would be cool.

I love Trillian and use it for all my bass, but it is NOT cheap.
 
As for compressors, I just went through a big shootout and settled on Waves H-Compressor. I'm not sure I would call it simple but it doesn't have a lot of weird extras you don't expect to see on a compressor and it sounds amazing. The Sonitus compressor that comes w/ Sonar is excellent too.

I've not used it myself, but IKM's SVX gets very good reviews and seems to be the top choice. But yeh, it's a hundred bucks.
 
You might try the Studio Devil VBA, which has two versions, one for $99 (2 channels) and the other for $69 (one channel).
 
For free there's the TSE BOD, which I have used and, well, it's worth every penny.
 
If you have Guitar Rig or GR LE, there are bass amps in there, and if you've already got it you might as well give that a try.

I would also say Trilian for a vsti
But if you are wanting a bass amp sim, check out Kuassa's Cerberus bass amp, it is quite good, and only $49

+1 for the Cerberus Bass Amplifikation by Kuassa

The GK from Audiffex isn't bad-

Yeah, I meant amp sim, my bad... but still good input...

you could also check out Ignite amps SHB-1 it is free, and you can couple that with some bass cab impulses from Rosen Digital, which are not free, but only $8 a pop, which can give you some decent sounds

(also grab NadIR from there to load the cab impulses)

+1 for GK2, it can also be quite good, depending on what you are after, Studio Devil stuff is not to bad, I have all their stuff, but never use it anymore because I have stuff which is IMO better, but it's still good.

Personally I use one of the Scarbee bass libraries in Kontakt and process the raw bass sound in Overloud Mark Studio.  The number of amps, cabinets, microphones and effects gives me the sound I'm looking for every time.
 
The Cakewalk store has it for $99 right now so it meets your price point too!

Yes Mark2 is excellent as well, I do like it a lot, but it is somewhat over the OP's $100.
