I've been using McDSP's G Channel for the last coupleof months, and liking it a lot. before then, RennComp. But I should also add that if you want an even bass level, finding a bassist who plays evenly makes everything a lot easier....
Strangely enough, I tend to use the ultra simple "Blockfish" in parallel with a UAD 1176 plug...just enough difference to make the end result interesting and noticeable without becoming muddy. Often, I'll run one of these tracks through a Mosvalve BluetubeII preamp just to add a slightly different EQ as well...

Ditto!
Occassionally, but not as much since Channel G:
Ren Comp -> Oxford EQ w/GML (or BF Pultec) -> BF Fairchild
Forte or Channel Strip sometimes.
Automation is the thing, but I also like the McDsp MC2000. In fact, I use that one for lots of stuff. I think it's one of the most passed-over of McDsp's plugins.

Agreed on both points.
Automating can be tedious but well worth it.
My 2 cents ....
When you record the bass record it just as present in the mid range as possible without adding to much low end , add the low freq later with eq . It rocks together with waves r-comp for example .
i record my fender jazz bass direct using 100% of the bridge pickup and 70-80 % of my neck pickup and its great sounding bass track for almost every music style ,adding 100hz for more power in LF.
Lifting 800 hz and 2 Kz can help alot .
The thread is three years old.. I'm guessing he found something.
