I agree with you ss!

The basses (all of them) are the best I've heard this side of a sampler! I could not live without this card in my JV1080 and it will go into my XV3080 as soon as I get it!

I also really like the drums. However, some of the kits in the XV synthes contain some of the same samples as those in this card (not a bad thing really!!!!). However, I personally find the kicks on this card a little weak (lacking umph!!!!). I prefer to route a kick out of one of the outputs for external eq'ing. There are also some nice loops to jam with! All in all, this card is highly desireable but you must think about how a bass player plays in order to really enjoy these sounds- don't think keyboard at all! Then these sounds will really shine.
