The very best thing to do in that case is load up a Subtractor, or Thor, and mess around until you learn how to synthesize your own sounds. Much more rewarding and fun. Start by opening patches already made and fiddle around, searching for what causes this and that in the synth's sound. That way, you won't have to search through endless banks of presets looking for the sound you have in your head, you will be able to create it right away.

And, please, the Subtractor basses aren't deep? The sampler patches are kinda weak I agree, but have you really tried the Subtractor's presets?

try:

HyperBottom
Bassy Bass
Wonderbass
Sub bass 1 and 2
Raw Hip Hop bass
LA Riot Bass
Dirty South Sub
Chronic Bass

Of course presets are never going to fit right in, you always have to tweak them a bit so they ''sit in your mix'' tight.

Here are some free Subtractor and Malstrom refills from www.reasonfreaks.com. These two refill are not only for bass sounds but there are some in here. And the synth sounds are incredible too.

Also the excellent BASStard refill.

And here's a free hint to BOOM up your bass, when you're really desperate:

1.Hook up a ECF-42 Envelope Controlled Filter to your bass-producing module of choice.
2.Put it in BP 12 (Band Pass filter with a 12 dB boost per octave, correct me if I'm wrong) mode.
3.Set the frequency cutoff to 33.
4.Set the resonance to 117.
5.?????????
6.PROFIT

Note that this will produce trunk rattlers with no definition or high end, but that might be what you want.

Also, CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

Have a nice day.
