I would go with scarbee mm bass from kontakt 5 dude, then just tweak it a little with effects ;)I can pretty much replicate the avicii one though, really easy. Just put a saw wave, then lowpass filter (to make it sound like a deep bass, but to take away the high end part of it). After, that, put a bitcrusher on top of it; there u go

The sound in the first one is a sound that's been in prominent use in funky house even back in the early 2000s.
In pretty much any sound design, If a sound is/was popular, and is relatively old, then Occams Razor is in full effect. It's very likely either simple to make, comes from the same box's preset, or is a recording/sample. Using old funk records was a common M.O. Perhaps that explains the sound, where they filter out everything but a certain frequency band, and boost the heck out of it. But rarely is a 'classic' sound from anything complex. In this case, it could be a real bass, but I'm just not sure.
I wish I could help more. I'd be curious for any insights on how classic funky house producers typically got their sound.
As for the Alesso, I don't know. I refuse to listen to any more stupid Alesso tracks.
I refuse.

would the same method apply to the bassline in Pryda - RYMD?

I dont hear any sounds in there that are similar to the ones discussed in this thread.
But Eric Prydz' stuff isn't that old, and generally he seems to know how to work his synths, so theres a pretty good chance it's not simple.

Here's my take on the Avicii bass, i think it sounds pretty much EXACTLY like his does (in the HQ version that he has). I used the exact method that i described up earlier. So, let me know what you guys think 
took me a bit of time to get the midi notes perfect

sounds very good, can you upload the midi file? That would be awesome. Then I can give it a annother try.itsNano wrote:Here's my take on the Avicii bass, i think it sounds pretty much EXACTLY like his does (in the HQ version that he has).
