Your requests are exactly why guitarists and bassists are not obsolete. Its pretty much impossible to take samples and get any kind of authentic and lively guitar or electric bass. they always sound flat. 

There are some plugins devoted to things like this which I have not used but I imagine used sampled strums or whatever. That might work for you, but they are canned. �For that matter you can buy loops of guitar and bass. However, a real guitarist has unlimited inflections and variety that give it a real sound though. 

And there is the matter of getting chord progressions or riffs - unless your song is all on one chord. Otherwise the transitions always sound fake.�

A lot of people use real guitar... and with good reason.

Subject:    [Logic_Cafe] Strumming acoustic guitars and driving basses

I don't have access to any guitar players, and I need a strumming guitar
part in a song. It won't be soloed, but I do need to be able to choose my
own chords. The acoustic guitars in Logic are a bit rubbish as far as I
can see, and the ones that add chords have a very limited range of chords
(unless of course I am missing something, which I might well be).

Can anyone suggest an affordable and reasonably good and simple was for a
non guitarist to get something that sounds reasonably authentic?

The other thing I am failing with at the moment is a driving bassline. To
my untutored ears there are loads of very good bass sounds in Logic, but
no matter how much I practice, they just sound like me playing them on a
keyboard (and I am a pretty good keyboard player). Any ideas, other than
find a bass player?

Thanks in advance
