Yes I'm doing that but I don't see "Value 26 Bend Range" anywhere.  Should that be in the dropdown box next to that one? - The 2nd dropdown is completely empty. 

I have both the track and wheel assigned to channel 1. 

 
 

I have no idea what just happened with the forum quote system...

On choosing "New Value Type" from the drop down menu, it should open the "MIDI Event Type" window.  This sould have threehoices, from left to right - "Type" "Value" & "Channel".  Under that, are "OK" and "Cancel" buttons.
 
By default they should show "Control" "1 Modulation" & "Channel 1".  Are you no seeing that?

Yes I checked again and I have absolutely no value options available when I select Wheel. The Value dropdown is disabled and grey when I select Wheel. 

I just replied at the  same  time as you..

Yes I see that but there are no values at all available for Wheel.
Control, RPN, and NRPN all have selectable values available. "Chanaft" also has none.
 

Just tried it with SI bass, and I get the same - value isgreyed out.  I had tried it with TTS 1, where it wasn't.
 
Just check the notes in the PRV and check that they are also set to Channel 1.  Click on one and look at the Event Inspector.

Are you using Simple Instrument Track or separate MIDI and Synth track?

I am just using them from the available templates..

So the SI Bass can never be affected by a pitch wheel???

In reality I know very little about virtual synth's because I have never needed them.
I learnt how to draw pitch data from a video tutorial on youtube..

Ok I tried it on Trilogy the bass plugin and it works there. I'm sure I can find a suitable bass sound there. 

Only problem now is that the pitch wheel only spans 2 notes. If you know a way to increase it's sensitivity please let me know.

Thanks. 

Pitch bend wheel works on SI bass.  As does drawing them.  I've been checking these things as I talked to you.
 
How did you insert SI Bass?  I usually click the + button in the Browser, choose "Insert Soft Synth" "SI Bass" etc.  You then get a dialogue box, and can choose (amongst other things) "Simple Instrument Track" or "MIDI Source" and a choice of "First Synth Out" etc. etc..
 
Anyway, for now,  click on a note in the PRV of the SI Bass track and look in the "Events Inspector" in the control bar at the top of X1 or X2.  What channel is it showing?  If it is not the same as the channel you drew the wheel controls in, then that is the problem.
 
It's nearly 2 A.M. here, so need to head off to bed soon.  If I don't hear back tonight, I'll check in tomorrow.  P.M. me, if you want.
