By the way...one of my "secrets" to having the EB really shine in a track is to use the ProChannel high-frequency shelving to lift the highs. Remember, I designed these sounds to be as "pure" as possible (well, except for the "growl" programs) so they could be colored however the user wanted. I tend to like a bit more "zing" to my bass sounds (I always liked Rickenbackers, for example), and the shelving does exactly that. OTOH I've also been able to get a pretty sweet "Motown" bass by rolling back the highs with the mod wheel and adding a little boost in the low end.
 
I talked with Cakewalk today about making some of my EB-specific TH2 and ProChannel presets available at some point for free to those who bought the EB Bass Expansion Pack, and they're totally behind it. Don't expect anything until I'm back from Frankfurt Messe, but it's on my radar and I already have several TH2 and ProChannel presets that are almost tweaked.

Awesome Craig! Really digging the EB Bass tones and ProChannel presets will make them even better. Thank you very much.
