Big fan of Mitch Murder

As a starting point, I would look at the slap/funk bass presets available in FM8, Massive, and Sylenth1, and also look at adding some multi and compression to lift the sub-lows and sparkle-highs a little too.

great thank you! what do you mean by "adding multi"? i am going to try it...and what also about the first song in the link?

By the way,Mitch Murder rules!!

by the way,i am a slap bass player and was also trying to obtain that sound by putting some fx right on the electric bass...that would be awesome too

Regarding the first, I have a somewhat similar Sylenth bass patch, made it because I also like the 80s a lot

To me it sounds like a cucumber, thus the odd name of my patch ^^
I hope it helps you, maybe you will have to increase the overall level, depending on your DAW...

fxp file for Sylenth:

I guess what one needs to do is use multiple, free-running, slightly detuned waves. It sounds better with pulse than with saw, but Sylenth has that screwed-up pulse implementation, which makes using free-running osc's with pulse impossible...
The illusion of punch comes from the short noise attack.
Since the envelopes and filter settings for pulse/saw and noise are different, a synth with multiple synth lines helps a lot.
