Ive got both and i have to say i agree with eat Static on this one.

The bass station h/w is the most unreliable sytnth i have EVER come across. The machine is not to be trusted in any situation, expecially live as its favourite trick is to stick, then lose its settings, forcing a resart.

The s/w version is damn close to the original and a real pleasure to work with. True, it aint no h/w, but then the orignial h/w version sounds great, but im dubious about its bass emitting qualities. Yet another synth that needs a compressor to sound good.

Answrs on a cracker please..
