im actually just looking at a dinopsaras bass sample from the loopmasters dino psaras psychedelic samples, SO NO ITS NOT LIKE A 1000 PIECES ITS JUST THE STANDARD bbb line with nothing else added. Thanks this is really helpfull, im using a monophonic synth no lfos no nothing just the esm, im just tweaking the filter and envolope to get to the closest waveform that im tring to achieve, after this then i add the compressor and eq, im thinkin of it like a sculpture i think of the original wave sound (esm wave) as a boulder, so then before i can do anything with it it should already have most of the frequencies that im tring to keep (im tring to stay clear of boosting any freqs). After that i just begin cutting the freqs i dont need and just leaving the ones that make it look like dino's, kind of like the "chiseling" that you would do to a boulder to shape a sculpure, I dont know if this is the way to go but its workin for me so far this idea just poped into my head like 4 days ago so im going to keep at it and ill keep on postin to see how its goin!! o yeah thanks to the linear phase eq i no longer have to do it note for note I just keep the notes with the same note value and lenght with the same eqs and it seems to be working so far

Just fyi, trying to achieve a good sounding bassline by just cutting away freqs is not the best idea. I know you're going for a specific sound, but fix your sound in the envelope first, then only eq what is necessary. I've always been told "eq with purpose". You should also really be doing this within the context of a track, because even if you mimic the bassline 100% it might sound like shit within the context of a track you make.
I'm sure this is just practice in learning how to make the bass sound a certain way, but I just had to mention that.
