The bass sound begins at the start of the link (I told the YouTube link to start at 1:38, but the forum software seems to change that? actually it starts at 0:18) and is complemented by another "deep" bass at 2:02.
It seems as if the sound is filtered, but is still clearly audible. What technique or, if so, which preset of a common plugin? Thank you very much :tu:

It's literally just a saw with a low pass filter. The ADSR (Volume) shape gives it a nice little bounce feeling but it's one osc, a saw and a filter.

Thanks, filtered as expected, but how do you get the "pressure"?

You can try adding a subtle short attack sound with a noise oscillator.
Layer a subtle click over the attack.

And also try adding some comrpession for punch.

I'd try a ratio of 2 to 4:1
Attack 30-50ms
Release 0.1ms
Threshold creating about 2-3 db's of gain reduction. Great for adding a bit of punch and movement to a sound.

A: The impression of "pressure" is often a result of a well cleaned "environment". The bassline has lots of space - in the frequency domain as well as in the stereo field.

B: Before compressing - and I´d better maximize / limit first - you should consider that synths differe strongly in their presence and punchyness.
