I don't know whether it's the right kind of bass, but nekobee is an
afaik quite realistic TB-303 emulation. xsynth seems to be quite simple
but popular, phasex is very powerful and there are plenty more options
(3x calf, analogmodellingsynth, ...), hell, you could try to paint your
basslines using arss :)

HTH at least a little
