I suspect both libraries were intended to be used as funk basses, which isn't my normal style of music, and lack a decent "hard rock" sound. I think they were recorded with the wrong bass frequencies, or through a too-tubby pre-amp, but they're too bass-heavy to be amped properly (I combine DI and amp signal blended together, then phase align them during mixing) and none of the EQs or stuff like Waves' all-in-one plugs (CLA, Eddie Kramer, Maserati, etc.) can get rid of the unnatural sound, or it makes things worse. I used to use Scarbee Pre-Bass (DI version) and I've used Jay-Bass DI (which is set up really weird, by the way I've also had to combine the "fingered" with "slapped" instruments to keep it sounding consistent during slaps) and, aside from the appalling lack of articulations on both, they don't sit too well in the mix.
