It's hard to suggest anything without a sample but it looks like the following pattern as a sub bass would fit.

K---K---K---K--- (kick)
-B-BB-B--B-Bb-B- (your bass)
--B--B----B--B-- (sub-bass)

I dunno.

Check the 2 bassline threads for more ideas.

Hrmm, yeah why don't you just have the sub fill in any gaps instead of using the same kick pattern shifted over 1/8? If it still contrasts, then layer it on top of eith the bassline or the kick with the same pattern.

Could ya post a sample, I like to hear what your trying to do, to see if Im reading your desc right. Im more of a audiable type person, instead of visual heheeh

K---K---K---K--- (kick)
-B-BB-B--B-Bb-B- (your bass, b=different note,octave higher)
h-h--h--h-h--h-- (same as your bass at the original pitch)
G---G---G---G--- (This one fades in from zero with a filter to the midle of the G's, about 63/127 attack(reason values), not a lot of cuttoff though.
If you don't get it PM me

Here example with the last post Do you hear the gap you create this way. Maybe you can try

h-h--h-hh-h--h-h

Kick Plus Bass

Well I thought of a bassline under yours. Here's another example: Kickplusbass example
now you heared B, h, G and B h G together. Basedrum is there so I could set the attack of G.
