[LAU] bass amp simulator

Has anyone found any plugins (preferably Linux-native, not wineasio or vst) that do a decent job with bass amp simulation? I've achieved a pretty good mic'ed cabinet sound with a real mic'ed cabinet, but I'm afraid the problem in my apartment at night is the mic'ed cabinet. Even something that does a good enough job for scratchpad takes would be nice. I currently have a Whirlwind Director direct box, and I've not been impressed with it much. Maybe there are better direct boxes? On the other hand...I seem to be one of the few people I know who has not yet tried a Line6 Bass Pod. Are they really any good for amp simulation? I am after fairly natural bass tones by the way, nothing that puts your bass through distortion or makes it sound like a spaceship.... -- + Brent A.
