I have had many mono synths, and I had about 6 of them already when I got the bass station 2, but this one still blew me away beyond expectations.
The sound of the BS2 is great, and features like drive and distortion allow for those dirty gnarly bass roars, while the clean sound can give you very lush, milky bass. Also tweaking a sound is a very satisfying process, as there is no menu's - everything's there right in front of you.
The built-in arpeggiator with its rhythm variations is very useful, and there is even a very simple step sequencer (no chords). This said you can also you use the Bass Station as a midi controller.
