I *heart* acid basslines, personally. Say what you will about the 303, I still have not found any other synth that comes even close to that level of versatility. Anybody heard the acid line from Poxymusic - Our Break?
^ I love that tune...its so fun listening to the speakers accent when he guides you through the steps to breakbeat.

Was bored, so i threw this little midi together with 14 different types of basslines. All are 4 beats long.
Made is Cubase and exported as a Midi.
Just import the midi into you sequencer and away you go.
All in the Key of C ... so chance acording to your preferance.
Hope this gives a insight to some people, showing that there is basses other than the regular offbeat bass which everyone hammers. Try use your imagination and experiment with these.

Judging from the length of this thread I can come to a conclusion that a solid bassline is very difficult to achieve,
But I knew that already, a bassline seems so mysteries sometimes it’s the heart of the track yet seems so simple if whiles
Listening to a track its weird.
Most of the time if one finds a "LOCK TIGHT" bassline everthing fits together.I used to make huge riffs but never, could i find a suitable bassline, nowadays i make cheap riffs with soild basslines layered it sounds SUPER and very neat indeed.

its a trap and i realise now that ive fallen into it... i think its better to have a unique and really intresting bassline even if that means more work. or you could go with the jezper - requiem style bass. if i remember corectly, the bassline is pretty basic but he makes it melodic for lets say one bar before adding the hats a melody etc. or hes just doing it at the end of every 16 bars, im not sure. i noticed that this creates the false feeling that the bassline is really melodic even when its just plain rythme.

i tried this out not too long ago. i put the bassline right before the kick would hit. where people put their snares nowadays (example-mr. fred baker)
sounded different but has its uniqueness. i dig it.
