Those classic westcoast basslines come from vintage analog synths. Accept no substitute. The minimoog is the defacto fat bassline machine, and steinberg has a vsti called "model e" wich tries to be like the mini moog.
My advice would be hunt down a korg mono/poly, or sequential circuits six track off ebay and dont use software because it wont be the same at all. If your clever you can get all kinds of analog gems, if your not-so-clever, then you may be better off just getting the model e, waldorf ppg/wave. sonic-syndicate orion, NI pro 5 and Reaktor.

well. the sequential six track is something that should not cost you more than $200. Also, the obberheim matrix 6r in its self isnt all that phat, but you can sync up the voices in unison mode and then it is fat. I just got a kawai sx 240 off ebay for $100, its a dco analog 8 voices with 2 oscillators, plus a sub oscilator per voice, it has midi etc. These things arent that expensive, unless your going after the all time classics. A korg mono/poly, prophet 600,pro 1 all easily under $500
The sequential six track though has 6 oscillators, so it can be synced up to 2 sets of 3 for phatness.
Softare isnt bad at all either, except the shit dont sound analog,it doesnt do the bassline quite the same, and isnt necessarily cheaper, unless your pirating it.

Well now that you mentioned that
www.analoguesamples.com
If you cant find a good bass sound there you need a check up.
If you need something to play those samples then get a soundblaster, or use software like orion:
www.sonic-syndicate.com
Also, with your own analog synth you can just start twiddling knobs getting the strangest sounds, and record all of it. Then go back pick out the best parts and sample that shit, aha!!! no tuning problems of polyphany shortages that way.
Also, great fun is software like grm tools, a suite of plug ins garunteed to twist your dome till its all scabby.
best wishes,
mr. rob
