This is precisely my thought about the bass too. In fact I have found it a bit difficult to get boths VCO to detune properly in order to make certain bass sounds. I know it sounds weird because there is provision for tune, coarse tune, ultra-fine tune and of course there is hard and soft sync to make the detuning behave properly. But somehow the detuning mostly lends itself to pads, not basses.

So for basses I was very surprised, like Don, that a lot of mono-patches are just freaking huge - no need to dial the second VCO at all. Or even set it at a sine wave and add litlle amounts just to boost the fundamental.

Oh, and when I say freaking huge, I mean huge as in HUGE
