Try using two Low pass for both filters. This will make the slope steeper and you should be able to isolate the bassline better.

yeah thats what i been doing using 2 together but sometmes the results are abit hmmm dodgy .
RESAMPLING you mean to keep refiltering each time? Wouldnt the quality get real low i could give it a go though .

for a producer to be trying to get a low end theory bassline means he's sacrificing a lot of quality.
just get a bass pgm (there were some good ones floating around before) and use the lfos and qlinks. if you use em right it souds like you have an electric guitar.

hey sorry, i didn't see this. i'll try.
once you work w/ the lfos for a while you get a good grasp on what each waveform does.
i have a few bass pgms from nearly a year and a half ago. just a regular chromatic bass patch. i'd left the mpc for bass for a while to use reason, but i came back when i realized how well i could program a bassline using just the mpc.
put a gentle lopass on your bass pgm, like 70 percent with a litttle res.
use the qlink to roll the bass up to another note, so it starts on one note and ends on another. this is like a bassist sliding his fingers.
you can do a similar thing w/ the lfos, but it's more of a small movement. often bassists don't just hit a note, they hit a note and control the resulting string's vibrations. implement a comparatively slow lfo (1.00 give or take) to emulate bending and expression.
esp when it comes to bass, everything doesn't have to be perfectly tuned all the time - the notes should just START that way, then you can go wild. but be subtle, it's easy to get a weird ass cluttered bassline, and then the guitarist throws you out of the band and puts grease in his hair.
