I'm assuming you're using FL Studio (if you're using Reason, the 'Hyperbottom' bass is a good bass to start with), so a good place to start is the BooBass with both the 'Treble' & 'Mids' knobs turned all the way down, and the 'Bass' turned all the way up (or close to it). Or, you can use the 'Hip_Bass' in the 'Hip-Hop' packs folder.
As far as playing the basslines, first you need to find which bass notes fit the key/melody of your sample. After doing that, you just play around on the keys with your beat/melody/drums looping until you find something the sounds good to you.
Another good place to start is having the bass follow the kick drums. From there you can branch out and start coming up with some unique & dope bass lines.
I'm using FL studio...8 to be exact. Thanks for the tips everyone! I'll mess with the equalization, treble, mids etc. I need some more depth and feel in my beats ya know?
