It starts about 30 seconds in. How is it so clean, full and deep sounding yet dirty? I'm trying to recreate something similar. Here's where I'm at now. https://soundcloud.com/rimraz/attrition ... GB4#t=0:29

I'd also appreciate any tips to make the modulations more fluid like the posted song

I'm using serum and izotope products mainly. Any tips in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks for reading

while I don't have a preset for you.
Once you get a good dirty bass you start EQing out the mud 200Hz - 600Hz and Low-Passing it as well.

While OTT can give you crisp clean-ness And I would add it in this type of sound as too really scoop out all the mud you don't nee. you fill up that space with the leads/chord to make it sound full again.

Dont judge the bass sound by itself but "in the mix"

Sounds like a fairly standard dubstep-type bass (Google should have tons of tutorials for making these in Serum) that's been highpassed to filter out the actual bass content and then layered with a clean bass that's lowpassed around 150 Hz or so. You can probably do something similar using a deep EQ cut as suggested above, but I find it easier to get a clean result by keeping the low bass content separate from the rest (either using a separate osc with its own filter or using a separate instrument altogether).
