Scanning everything again so it picks up the rbass within Waves 'vst shell' is pita...
 
Wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out what I did wrong!

If you know how to use it it's wonderful.  If was getting the results that you are getting I would never use it.  I use it all the time.

I've heard this exact sentiment expressed many times. At one time I even considered paying full retail for RBass on the strength of such enthusiastic testimonials, and I was quite pleased when this freebie offer came along. 
 
But if there's a trick to "knowing how to use it", then please educate me!

For me the trick is having a specific goal and finding the best frequency.   It can do wonders for snares by just adding a hint of depth but you have to find the right frequency for each snare.  For my live show I play through a Fishman SA220 line array which doesn't have or actually need a sub for fat tight bass.  But there is a lower limit that 6" speakers just cannot reproduce.  For my backing tracks I can get low end that the speaker is not capable of.  That is because the Renaissance Bass add the harmonics that the lower frequencies would create and my speakers can reproduce that.  It's not a set and forget effect but with some experiementation it can do great things. YMMV yada yada yada ...

This is what Maxxbass does to, it's forte is in making bass more audible on smaller speakers. 

Renaissance Bass is MaxxBass v2.0 with a new skin & fewer controls.
 
This is supposedly a 2007 quote* from Waves:
The Renaissance Bass technology is the 2nd-generation development from the patented MaxxBass algorithm, and uses the psychoacoustic properties of the hearing mechanism to increase perceived bass.

Here is the current description from Waves web page:
Using Waves patented MaxxBass® psycho-acoustic technology, Renaissance Bass makes tightening up the low end easier than ever

The thing I like about Bit's testing is it's very thorough.
Not just a "yeah I tried it, don't like it".

I haven't messed with RenBass enough to come to a similar conclusion, but I'd bet all of Bapu's plugins that Bit doesn't have EZMix2

...I'd bet all of Bapu's plugins that Bit doesn't have EZMix2  

You'd be right. 
 
I am saving up for DubTurbo, though.

 Thanks Mike and VV, next time I try it out, I'll try it on something that needs thickening like a thin snare.  

You can just about finish off the Renaissance Series by buying the
Musicians 2 Bundle from EveryPlugin for $41.30.  It has all but one of the Renn Collection 
other then Bass, which we just got for free..that's 75 percent off of the M2 bundle...

 You're right Larry, I tried a few of those out a while back and liked them. $59 I could pass up, $41.30 I could not. Thanks again. That's it for me until closer to Christmas.
