What genres of music do you sample basslines from (for those of you who do sample low end)to use in your hip-hop....jazz, reggae, hip-hop iteself...???

Also when you throw a low pass on your sampled bassline and you are left with the low-end of the kicks that were in there, do you place your kicks over the pre-existing kicks? I am wondering how people go about doing this. It isn't too easy to find an isolated bassline in a song from any genre...but it is probably a little easier to find one isolated in reggae where the basslines are really complex and dominate the mix....just my thought.

All depends,... sometimes you can just go with what you sampled from and filter it...or just go with jazz...coltrane,monk there is always isolated basslines on jazz

I love Jazz, but it's all about personal flavor. Reggae, Funk, Soul, een some disco stuff out there has nice basslines

I take after some advice i saw from Pete Rock, and I chop my sample into tiny little pieces, note by note or sound by sound, and assign each one to my MPC. That way, I can play a sample with the kicks at the BPM i want it, and it doesn't fvck with the pitch. Try it out.

Thanks for the insight. I have another question...when using the bassline from the same sample you chopped up (by low pass filtering it), do you chop up the bassline too or play that as a loop? I am wondering this because if there are chors progressions in the song and you are flipping a sample yet looping the bassline under it, they might not match because the low end would be in a different key as your chops (mids/highs) depending on where you place them over your looped bassline. Can someone clarify this for me?

Sometimes i will chop the bassline as well to prevent that. But for the most part i will breakdown the sample as much as possilbe and recreate it. When i first started i had that problem but as i got better at chopping i was able to get to the point to avoid that.That is why i prefer jazz basslines it allows you to have the freedom to work around that issue
