Trance Bass Line Help

What's up guys. I've made quite a few different bass lines with saw waves in the past and understand how to make the detuned saws and rolling bass lines. But I am trying to find out how to make this a little more specified sound. It's a synth bass played maybe only a few times per measure and has much filter variation. An example is TyDi - Calling or even Dash Berlin's new song When the world falls apart. This would help me out a lot. Thanks!

(even if it's not that any good ideas for bass suggestions would be awesome I always like to try some new things)

Its just a sub bass (simple Sine bass will do) thats Mono and mid bass that has alot of stereo spread.

With the mid bass you'd want to play with the cutoff filter, to give that evolving texture your hearing.

yeah, Creating basslines with one or two sine waves, maybe a sine wave with bit reduction so you can fine tune it to give it a bit of buzz in some crazy high freqs is quite fun. no attack, bit of a snappy decay and very short release time. you can really get it rolling.

Thanks guys I'll give it a shot. What do you guys think about the lead in Tydi's calling? In particular the one that comes in around 23 seconds in this video? Saw lead with lots of filter variation? I'd love to know how to get that sound.

If you mean the stabs they're just heavily detuned saws. There's also some reverse reverb leading up to some of them, which is probably the movement you're hearing.
