i like my bass distorted

I like the sound of distorted bass. I've been using that particular sound on almost every song i wrote, for Mesmerized, of course.
As some of might have known the bass parts was'nt played with a bass guitar but was entirely programmed using Fruity Loops.
Well i used the Boo Bass. Its an instrument that comes packaged with FL which sucked when it is used without effects. All i did was put it in the channel window and right click on it so i can choose the piano roll. I use the piano roll so i can easily see the notes played from my keyboard, or tweaked with the mouse.
But is it distorted? not yet. I select the channel of the Boo Bass with any free channel in the mixer window and then i put the Amplitube plugin. Actually you can use any guitar plugin, but somehow, i love the distortion the amplitube gives me. There are lots of options that i can choose as in the amplifier type, the miking distance and lots more. I try to get the most organic sound possible and amplitube gives me just that.
