I have been making music for a while now and I have started to dapple in drum and bass producing (things like Omni Trio, LTJ Bukem, London Elektricity etc)

I don't have any problems where the drums are concerned (I started in music 10 years ago playing drums) but my bass lines really could do with some work... they tend to be a little "samey" and I need to figure out how to introduce some variation in to my tunes and as you guys have been so helpful in the past I was wondering if anyone would like to share their hints, tips or tricks to help me along with the bass lines?

cheers!

Simple but effective way of emulating Dixie Chickens tip 1). (The tightest Drummer/Bass Duo possible)
Copy and Paste the Kick drum to another track with a Bass synth/sample. Move the midi notes in pitch but keep their timing the same. This works particularly well for R n B/ Urban and Funk.
