I have a good tight Kick drum sample+eq, and a clear saw bass, what is the next step to process the bass in order could be saturator? eq? another plugin? sidechain?
First I would ensure I got best thing from source and EQ-ing and compression, than I would use Logic’s Phaser followed with PSP Vintage Warmer, nothing drastic, no heavy liftings, I find Logic’s Phaser jewel for this modern basslines, not that obvious as U He one, actually Oni Katsu brought that up to my attention and I like what he is doing with it, there is his screenshot flying around here somewhere and you can dig out some of his tracks in “Workshop” (thanks man, good tip), but mix, ears, tastes and all that, you can go overboard easily, especially with Phaser and PSP Vintage Warmer, it can bring something to the table and can more easily destroy everything, just like distortion or any drastic processing, my advice is to make a track trying to nail the best you can from eq-ing/compressing and tweaking source and than work in context or final mix, it can be revealing how little you need actually
Sounds and looks just like a regular (pretty short) saw wave with a pretty high envelope amount (for the sharpness) and an instance of quadrafuzz slapped on to it to grind it up a little.
It could be only Quadrafuzz in your case, I don't have it, so I basically do what I think Quadra does with those two, even get something different/better out of it
If you want some order, Source>EQ>Compressor>Quadrafuzz>EQ
here you go guys i found it one some free vst site,it works in presonus studio one that i use so it should be working in other daws http://speedy.sh/psB6X/QuadraFuzz.rar

I have quadrafuzz working in ableton (i found a pack of all cubase sx plugins,but i don't remember where)
here i made test how it sound with all plugins mentioned above.
Depends on what are you aiming here,
if you tried to come close to example you posted, you are way off,
if it’s magic of the moment, I think it’s little high for a bass, sounds like a percussion to me, it doesn’t work with a kick like a bass should,
you can easily layer sub and get some groove actually, but again, if that works for you and vision you have here,
than that’s all that matters really.

either need to learn or remember where those unbalanced shitty frequencies sit...
that bass just sounds like any other wel mixed wel mastered bass,your bass stil has the boxy freqencies peaking above fundimetl in3n4th harmonic lomid area ,sumwhere annoying in 200-400 needs attunating..
id be inclined to start a new patch instead tho because i like to eq a nice original sound,that coould b a road to a crisp bass
go by ear and the fundmtle/harmonic grid on ya parametric eq
lower octave
learning doesnt ever stop
quadrafuz? doesnt matter as there r other ways to get that non linear "Multibandsplit" tone
in my abolished absolute transworthy opinion
it sounds like quadrafuzz often but it is else stuff..
there are many many ways to do it - in the end what goes fastest is best for you , (i sample all)
i will try the phaser from Logic today! thanks for that tip.
can you post a Picture from the bass audio? so we can read it together here and i go through the Processing. Hugs

Ohmicide will not produce the character quadrafuz does... for its linear multiband crossovers.
ll3multi gets me closer-add as many as u like til sound is thickened ta taste not to many tho as phase distortion becomes mud
twonezero - post picture from the bass audio and read it together?
if u mean post pictures on the threads yeh,just by loading it it up on a file share site then posting a jpeg link
