I've made very nice bassline sounds with Albino and Pro53. Download some patches and play around with them.

this place has some cool albino patches: http://www.arksun.co.uk/

click on releases and sound design

Just because you have FL doesn't necessarily mean you have sytrus. You need to purchase it separately.

Basslines are very hard to do properly and it's not easy just to tell someone "this is how you make a bassline". It requires a lot of time experimenting, listening, and practice.

However, here are some tricks I use to make a "good sounding bassline":

- Layering: have several different basslines each taking up different frequencies and layer them together to make it sound beefy
- Stereo separation: make sure you don't have any (bassline should be mono)
- Patterns: Basically, the lower the frequency/pitch of the bassline, the less notes should be played. Subbass notes should be relatively simple while low-midrange notes should be the "rolling" part of the bassline
- Bass with kick: make sure the bass isn't played at the same beat as the kick unless it is in a different frequency range as the kick to avoid clipping at a frequency range and muddyness
- Compression: It is essential, master the art of compression.
- No reverb/chorus/delay/etc... : these are BAD as they play around with the bass frequencies, add unwanted stereo separation and make your bass not as tight and more muddy.

Don't know about the DELAY effect "kewlness"-> everything else is 100% correctly. Delay gives "rolling" but don't add too much.

But how are you meant to do that effectively? Most trance basslines I hear are a lot of notes, being played quite fast, so how can I avoid playing the bass on a kick? Apart from using a simple offbeat bassline, because that's too much of a hardtrance/hardhouse sound.

Ah well, my sub bass is on top of a kick too, it's just a one-bar-long note on the root of whatever chord it's on. I guess I should maybe change that before I end up blowing some speakers

That's true if you don't know what you are doing with them. But quite often these effects are essential in creating that groovy bassline. You just need to know how to use them.

you can have the bass and the kick at the same time... as long as they don't share the same frequencies... which will easily fry your speakers if turned up loud and as well as being muddy

In uplifting, most of the time.. you have a rolling bassline that's around mid range which isn't really occupied by the kick which allows that bassline to occupy the spaces where the kick occurs with no trouble
