Armin Style bassline

Yah I know its probably been ask a million times here, I'm looking for more of a expert explaination, then just a standard diagram of a bassline, I haven't posted here for awhile, and clueless when it comes to these types of basslines, I'm not looking for the sound, but how its constructed.

Armin van buuren shivers - its sounds simple, but no matter how hard I try I cant get it, is it just a loop with some delay or what

help me please

Shivers

Kick:
K---K---K---K---

Bass 1:
-B-B--B--B-B--B-

Bass 2:
B----B-BB----B-B

Bass 1 and 2 should be spaced one octave apart.
Add a bunch of delay and you should come pretty close.

its really not that hard to make a bass like armin's..well it is hard but not if you know what you're doing..i say zeta will give you the closest sound to shiver's bass if you know how to use it..

cheers..

p.s. my suggestion is to try listening to the song and figure out the notes your self..its hard in the begining but after a while it should be one of those things that you do and won't even notice..that way you familiarize your self with songs and how notes work..

just dont start always playing other peopls shit too mcuh, pretty much everytime i sit down on the key board i come up with something original, ive only ended up with anothers melody like once. i have a friend whos better at keyboard than i am, but he always ends up with someone elses melody. (on purpose, hes a trance dj and he rebuilds whats hes heard before without realising it.)

cant stand when ppl play other songs / known proper chords n popular scales n shit

i seriously think coming up with the bombdiggity melody/bridge is like 35% of the job.
