Apparently the envelopes on the new Hades are going to be snappier than the original too, along with the Erebus. I had one in the past and thought it sounded absolutely fantastic but remember the envelopes being a little squidgy.

I’ve just done the same! Thank you @jottwehh! I missed it while Dreadbox had them and was a little bummed. This cost $15 more but but I don’t care!

I mean this place has a fine search function and all these excellent low frequency synthesis tools were listed in the two old threads linked early on so I can’t even begin to feel bad.
Use the search!!
To those grumbling about using the search function, the previous thread that someone copied in above was was looking for modular bass synth which is not what I’m looking for

Lots of good choices already mentioned. One that is often overlooked is the IK Multimedia UNO Synth Pro. It is excellent for bass and presently on sale. The keyboard and desktop version fall within your budget at this time.
It’s interface workflow is similar to the Waldorf design (i.e., Pulse 2), but is very easy to navigate.

KORG Minilogue Bass just dropped, but I can’t really see what’s ‘bass’ about it.

A friendly suggestion is hardly grumbling :0) There are two threads linked above (neither of which have anything to do with modular btw). Both of them mention every synth mentioned in this thread save perhaps the Uno. How do you suppose the person who linked those two threads found them? The search function.
I don’t know why assume that everyone hasn’t used the search before, it may have been a different genre, desktop or budget , I can’t recall the exact reason why the previous thread didn’t have what I’m looking for

DIY or Eurorack?
Seemingly a set of ‘exclusive bass optimised patches’. I’m guessing it’s a standard monologue under the hood
Agreed. Albeit a very pretty hood.
Kinda a pointless release?? Supposedly for people with money to burn.
That’s interesting as I really like Dave smith instruments, can this get the kind of sound that I’m looking for with future garage? I could only really find acid style demos on YouTube.
Thanks

It’s apparently irresistible haha 
With the reissue the DIY version is the same as the retail one available in December, and they both come with the powered case - so can be used standalone or eurorack.
Worth noting that although it’s described as DIY it’s really just light assembly - the tuning is probably the bulk of the work.

Yes I can’t solder and was surprised to see it’s all presolded

not a uk garage aficionado, but it seems like a lot of these bass lines are FM sounds, probably all from VSTs. does this have to be a hardware synth? you’d probably have everything you needed with the serum plug-in or a bunch of similar VSTs.
typhon is great for bass, small, versatile, relatively cheap. hades seems nice. there are lots of options, as you’ve already heard. i don’t think you need to stick with analog or hardware to get where you want to go, though. good luck, and report back with some tracks!
