If you're a bass player and you have a bass guitar would you not be better buying something like line 6's Pod X3?
Okay, the Pod X3 is quite out of date now but it has a great selection of bass amp sims, I do all my bass live via the Pod X3 and get really excellent results, far better than a vst ever could.
 
There are probably other options in hardware I'm not aware of but that's what I use.

There are two bass pods from line 6 you can get second hand.

I use a line 6 bass hardware pod for ALL my bass recording.
 

Ampeg SVX is very good, but you can get pretty close to that "sound" if you have a good capture of your bass and then use some judicious compression, EQ and a touch of distortion/saturation. The most important thing is that the original bass recording is clean, all of the frequencies are there and there are no impedence issues. The Sansamp should help with that, but you might want to try using a Radial DI.

The Zoom B3 (bass multi-FX pedal) has some really nice models in it.
The Bassman is particularly nice!
 
Otherwise, checkout the new SCR-DI from Ampeg.
It's more than you're looking to pay (~$200), but you'd get that Ampeg sound quick/easy.
 
If you have access to a Kemper Profiling Amp, I created a bunch of profiles of an Ampeg VB4 (tube head) into an SVT-410HLF cab.
I could upload them for you to download/use.  
The Kemper is expensive... but once you factor in how easy it is to record great sounding guitar/bass, it's worth it.
 
 

Trilian, all that should be said...

Everything in IK's SVX is available in their AmpliTube Custom Shop app, which allows you to try out each model for a short time and just buy the ones you like, or the whole SVX package (cheaper that way).

I also like their Orange AD 200 bass amp model.

Except he's NOT looking for bass libraries or patches. He want amp sims.

Does it provide color?
 
If so which one?

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

Nope, it's within the OP's budget. it's $99 in the Cakewalk store..
