whats your problem with the kick and bass?
how come they dont sound good together?
are you having the bass playing at the same time as the kick? or is your bass overlapping the kick by its length... or maybe your kick is overlapping the bass.... see it all in audio! 
"Ducking": If a kick drum gets lost in the mix because of a dominating bass, use this method and let the kick drum control the compression of the bass. This also does a very nice job of "melting a groove" together as a whole. Another use of ducking is on radio style voiceovers; i.e. background music is ducked when a speaker talks and returns to normal level when he pauses.
"Synchronized gating": This technique involves introducing gating in a rhythmic pattern defined by another track. Could be a synth pad being gated to the rhythm of the percussion.
COMPADRE features true stereo sidechaining allowing both external key input and sidechain filtering. And of course you can still switch it off, and use it as a straight ahead compressor."
