I've been mixing some 2017 studio sessions and the various amp sims have been really helpful - I apply it to the bass bus which includes both the DI track and amp tracks. Sometimes I leave the mic track raw and blend it w/ the amp sim DI being dominant.
On guitars, I apply the amp sim to the whole guitar bus, regardless if they're DI'ed or mic'd tracks.
For The Cure style pick playing I've had a lot of good luck with the PFlex350 Flat going into a supercabinet where I've split the signal. A lightly high passed CHP Vocs (AKA Vox) AlnBlue 1x12 cab with an MD421 right on the cone for clank - and then a low passed CHP Fender Bassman 2x12 with a Royer 121 on the Cap Edge for booty.
I'm totally clueless what to do for finger style. And I'm unsure if there's any place to grab bass IRs to download. Was curious for advice from someone who uses TH-U or amp sims in general. I've been picking from their bass selection but I'm sure a guitar amp would do fine when I get around to rummaging around there.
edit: I'm just curious about other's amp sim recipes! Please share some
