I think analog filters can't be beat or are hard to beat....
I guess I'm going for music that hasn't already been done a thousand times.
A lot boils down to the processing, and I think that it does take a fair bit more processing to get a chunky bass out of the Virus. I don't mind using my VC filters on bass from other machines occasionaly though, but I very rarely turn to it for generating the bass itself (keeping in mind the style of music I like of course).

Like Khazul just mentioned, using the V-Synth to layer and bring life to bass samples is a damn nice way to go, and at the moment that's what I do for all the bass I create. I record little clean bass loops from my analogue gear (or friends gear) and then use the V-Synth - works for what I like.

When it comes to my favourite source of bass waveforms, my CS-10 remains to be on top for me. Just love the thing!
