It really depends on what you consider "proper". Can you get fat
bass sounds out of A-111s Yes. Can you get every sort of bass
you've ever fallen in love with out of an A-100 system Probably
not. Everything has its own character.

I recently bought an MAM TB33II bass synth, and with its one VCO it
has a character of juicy fatness I've never coaxed from my Doepfer.
I also recently picked up a Macbeth M3X Minimoog clone, and it too
can produce a certain bass character I doubt I'd ever come close to
with my Doepfer. If you want certain sounds, sometimes the best and
easiest thing is to have the certain synths that can make them as
easily as falling off a log. Then again, there's a lot to be said
for inventing your own sound completely.
