It's a Chicago stab kinda sound.

You want lots of sawtooths oscillators, Sylenth is good for this but any VA will do.

You want to create a minor chord so in Sylenth set on Saw pitch to +3, one to +7, another down one octave and leave the other where it is. Medium amp decay and a little release, you'll want to detune them all a little too (say 15-20%)

Apply a low pass over the lot and then use Mod Env 1 to modulate filter cutoff, using similar settings to the amp env.

cheers mate, will give it a go tonight, I dont have sylenth but I have massive and zeta, im sure they'll do the trick.
i really like your suggestion in regards to the detuning. Let ya know how I go, thanks again!

mate, thanks so much for the info! I just spent a few hours with Massive and come up with some bass sounds im really really happy with, fit in the mix beautifully. I didnt detune to much, usualy just sent another osc down an octave and tweeked a few Cents here and there, nothing drastic. When i get a chance I will compare my sounds to the bass sound on the Emery track to see how close I am, etc. As mentioned though, im really happy with my own attempt cause they work for my songs and current mix. Now I just gotta find more time to refine and perfect them, not enough hours in a day.

cheers!
