Which effect should I use to record bass-like sounds using my strat?

That's a good solution, Davo!

You also could finger pick the bass lines up near the neck with the tone turned down, neck pup, with raised bass and sub bass eq.

that's my trick to - but I hate tuning down my guitar ... Open tunig is a headache !

Thanks for the help

Its a shame that the MBR doesn't let me turn my guitar into a virtual bass, so as an altenative, I like the idea of trying to adjust the pitch in cubase.  I have access to that but I haven't really gotten into it much.

I also like the obvious answer which is "go and buy a cheap bass".

That's what I did. A Squire P-Base with really great action. 150 cdn$ off Craig's list.
 I really got to enjoy playing it. Very different from the guitar and not nearly as boring as I thought it would be. (With apologies to bass players everywhere for my previous biases).
I tried using the guitar and it's just not the same feel.
Maybe if I were a bass player first...but then I'd have a bass or 2 anyway.

I posted this(follow up) the other day regarding a Marshall patch Id created bout a month back. I was anxious to build a bass model I could use to play my strat through to create a bassline for a song(my first) Im working on. I was able to use this patch, using my neck pup, volume bout 8 or 9 and tone pot near zero...finger plucked, sounds good to me.
Maybe somebody can give it a try too?

I always thought of the bass as kinda lame.  Now its really growing on me and it helps me write different stuff.

I use a real bass now, but I used to use the "tight bass" model with my strat and ran through the neck pickup.

We forgive you! 
It's a completely different instrument...
And the sound of a fretless bass... so amazing

I couldn't agree more.
