try it, i'd say yah

The boss pedal seems to work well for guitars, why wouldn't it do the same for bass(frequency differences may fcuk you over tho)

This was discussed in a recent thread and it basically went 50/50 on the issue, with the Boss AC-3 being mentionned as being adequate by some, crappy by others. A search will certainly provide more info, there's certainly more than one thread on this.

I have always wondered about the Acoustic Simulator. I like to think of it like the Dan Electro Sitar Swami: don't expect what the pedal says on how it will sound. Maybe it won't sound like an acoustic guitar, but it will still sound cool.

I think this is the best you can hope for. I doubt you'll fool any ears but the sound might be worth having on its own merits. Like how we've all got an OC-2 but most of us don't use it to add an octave to our regular bass sound, we just think it sounds ace on its own.
