I'm finding that bass is surely my weak point in music production.

I'm needing tips on how to make a nice progressive house bass sound and bass line, also the same for hard trance.

I just can't seem to nail the bass lines in my music, which sometimes leads to it sounding quite thin and without depth.

I look froward to your advice.

your question is very vague

a sample would help (something you made and arent satisfied of)

If you tell us more about how you go about Eq'ing etc do you cut all other sound frequencys around 150 - 180hz. not to mud up the bottome end..

Do you Eq and compress the bass and kick.

Do you cut frequencys for the kick in the basslines and vice versa.

This all helps when dealing with muddyness.

There are just so many variations at play when it comes to bass.

Kick, Pattern, Sound, Notes, and how it actually fits with everything else in the track.

If the bass is right, half the track is done in my opinion, it is the hardest and most important part to get right in a mix.

Try to find bass sound from a synth that already sounds good, then it should not be too much problem to make it fit.
Also try layering two basslines with the same notes and pattern, and play around with the EQ and volume of both of them.
