Sample it.

Get a PVD song that doesn't use alot of effects over the bassline, and take it.

Convert the MP3 to WAV and use the Wave Studio to cut it up so its ONE bassline...

use the Sequencer in Reason to play it, and other effects of your own to make it unique :)

just insert the bass-sound into the NNXT and use the function in order to autodetect the pitch of the sound. This often works and will automatically tune your sample.

i'm sorry..what is NNXT?

NNXT is one of the samplers that come with Reason 2.0-2.5 I think.

I don't like auto or temporary transposing. I like to do it manually with a wav program and pitch adjustment.

If you dont know your notes (I'm not that good yet) find a midi piano on the net and use it to find what note it is, then transpose it to any C note (sometimes A or G or could be anything depending on the standard note of the program and/or preferences you set for it). I just find what note the sample is and then subtract the proper ammount of semi-tones. GoldWave has a semi-tone mode for its pitch adjustment tool.

AnalogX has an auto-tuning program if you want a solid C sample without the work.

I do what Glacial said. I bring it into cooledit and then pitch adjust by the right amount of semi tones.
djglacial
It has a clear advantage: it keeps your samples more organized and makes sample libraries easier to manage and software switching way less a pain in the arse.
