I mean more like this track (awaits a certain someone to chime in with his usual 'thats nothing special, anyone could do it') after 1 minute or so;
I have been under the impression that most of the artists that make this type of bass sound, use either pitched down toms tuned to the key of your track played through a sampler, or a second kick that plays a bassline role but is filtered down to not hear the click type sound, and the decay would most likely have to be shortened on most kick sounds to get that type of sound. I think I saw a tutorial on this type of sound, I'll have a look around for it.
look around 4:45, I have seen others use tom type sounds and kicks before too. If this is even the type of sound u are looking for..... Minus the distortion he does to it.

It's a stock standard rolling bass line with reverb to add that thicker stereo image.
Don't try complicate things :P

umm, ok, it was just a suggestion. If he's looking for a sound why not try? Its called getting creative. Maybe it won't work for him but, what does he have to lose besides time spent. Which he does the same pondering these questions here anyways. I think its worth a try is all i'm saying. And for the record, its not that complicated.

I understand, but your suggestion was unfortunately not correct.

Some time ago Reaper guys did a lot of testing on major DAWs and the mixes all *nulled*. All DAWs sound the same.

UMEK and Marcel have told several times, they use kicks and toms for bassline's which they either pitch to key or use patches which are already mapped over an octave, then you can layer with sine subs for longer decay and thickness

Coincidentally, this just appeared on KVR. Haven't used it myself (and probably won't), but might be worth checking out.
