That's where the Synthacon excels.
The 2600 too, especially on the processing side.
Same with the Pro One I used to own.
Somehow the Mini doesn't seem like an FX/Processing machine to me.
If I had to choose a mono synth that was good for bass, I would also want lots of modulation possibilities and possibly an audio input.
The Synthacon has always intrigued me. 2600 as well but that's way out of my budget at the moment!
