Why would you need Cubase to test VB-1? :?:

that's gotta be one monster (sorry, tm, c) of a bass guitar.
my 8 string is setup as pairs of octaves, kind of like a 12 string guitar. so the neck is no wider than the average 4 string. i have seen 8 and 9 string basses though where they are just individual strings, not choruses. those necks look like aircraft carriers.

edit:
here are a couple short tracks that use my 8 string.

dreams.mp3 - only the 8 and a shitload of effects were used. (no other instruments.)

the pants of fury - the heavy, distorted, kerchunking line was played on the 8.

And then there's that Hamer 12-string bass that Tom Peterson from Cheap Trick plays (and that I think Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam also played on "Jeremy"), with the tripled 4-string configuration...yowza! :D

i had a dean 12 for a while there. the electronics were kinda cheep but it was lots of fun. i'd like to get one again someday. they make a 10 string now too, which could rock. (though im not into the look of that one.)

warrior makes a 15 string. its insanely expensive but i'd love to try one someday.

I get real bass from my real bass
when I opt for synth bass I usually reach for albino or claw

Yeah... There should be a hardware option. 90% I use hardware for bass - 10% VSTi (various).

Generally, these days, use layering for subs and mid-bass. Personally I tend towards combination of simple waveforms, mono, a splash of reverb above 400Hz and that's it. Drizzled with some yum-yum sauce and truffles.

Teisco 60F or samples of it. didn't vote as there's no hardware option.

Resurrection happens normally around Easter, so this one is a Christmas wonder.
