Waldorf Pulse? Novation Bass Station? Just a couple of suggestions.

that seems like a generous price range, even an sh101 should be available for that.

also think the bassStation, and superbassStation are worth checking out, as others have said.

If I were in your shoes, I'd get a cs-15 in a heartbeat.

I got a MiniKorg 700 for 140 euro's.

It's the synth with the best value for money I know.

Basses sound monsterous/agressive and warm and sweet at the same time.
It's got realy snappy envelopes to.
And it's impossible to make a crappy sound with it.

I think it's big brother the 800DV is the best sounding mono synth ever made! If you are lucky, you can find one inside your price range.
The whole old Korg range (SB100/700/700s/770/800DV) is highly recomended.

Hello,

you could find a Roland SH-2 in this price range or a Moog Source.
Both of these would be quite bassy.

For that price range you can pretty much take your pick. My choices would be:

Pro-one
CS-15
SH-2

Pro Ones seem to be going for the high end of his limit...and rising daily.

They seem to go for right about $600-700 on ebay, and usually a lot cheaper if you find one locally. Here is a nice one from the bay that closed yesterday.
