It definately has the moog character, but to me it also sounding much more modern, maybe a harder cleaner edge to edge? Hard to describe meaningfully.

Nick - as an electro bass synth - yeh definately. I wouldnt dump a load of loot for a voyager tho - too much of what I do needs some poly. LP on the other hand - maybe.

I actually use a Novation KS-Rack alot for bass sounds - if you have a chance - go play with one cos they can be had really cheap, though very hard to still find them new - probably loads coming up on ebay for next to nothing. There are also keyboard vesions - KS4 and KS5.

Only one filter, standard 12/24, LP/BP/HP but a very nice filter character. No substitute for a moog, but as far as digital synths go - there is definately something about it that puts me more in mind of an older analog - especially with its filter overdrive/q-normalise functions which allow for some very nice like tonal shaping through the filter that would be good for electro noises.

Cant beat true analog synths for proper bass and electro sounds. Those Arturia emulations and even the mini-monster sound complete shite in comparision.

Look at the Studio Electronics range of analog synths as they have the Moog LP filter and a very cool SEM lp/hp/bp/br filter.

Just picked up an 8 voice CODE(Omega) myself which sounds amazing. Also look at the SE1X for 3osc evil moog sounding bass's....lovely

I use several sequencers for different reasons that I will not get into now but Logic, Pro Tools, and Acid 6.0... I record a lot of Audio straight up live turn stuff into loops and layers ect. I may work a little different than others but it is what works for me and the others I collaborate with. As for Electro House Bass lines, You could easily use the LP for this or even the SE...The voyager rackmount is not a bad option if you want the whole ten yards but want to save a little and use some other keys. Dpending on your definition of Electro Bass sound you may want to check out a Mono Evolver by DSI as well it can make some fantastic bass. Tough decisions I know it was hard dropping $$$ for a Mono synth these days but it is a Moog and for what the vintage ones are going for and the Maint and tuning involved with keeping them in tip top shape I went for new in 20 to 30 years time it will hold a steady value if you do ever decide to sell it.
