Not like I’m looking for something, but would be nice to find out what’s your favourite tool for creating rich sounding, massive analog basslines. Of course many mono synths can do this, but I’m talking about your subjective experience.
On my side:
Original TB303 and RE303 - still solid and useful especially with external fx.
Moog DFAM - can be crazy for massive basses, very unpredictable, nice as a pair with 303 (with cv outs).
Prophet 6 - surprisingly nice for basslines, sequencer is simple but useful.
I thought that Dreadbox Medusa will be killer bass tool, but after using it for a while I think it’s just ok (better for drones, fx, and pseudo poly patterns ). Seems like Typhon will be much better in this field.
Regret selling Roland SH2 a bit, just as massive and into face sounding as possible. Maybe get it again one day since nothing can replace this feeling.
In my experience, Moog Minitaur and Toraiz AS-1 are top. Nothing beats the Moog for solid low end oomph (syncing the phase of its oscillators) and the Toraiz just sounds so good (like the P6 but better). Studio Electronics SE-1 pretty close as well.
Just got a Grandmother which might unseat those, still in the testing phase. Werkstatt also recently acquired with only one oscillator hits surprisingly hard.
OG Pro One. Not played with the B clone but if it’s close enough it’s should be a little monster.
B clone of the Model D. Not got pockets deep enough for the real thing but the clone can go from deep to spanking with a load of sweet spots in between.
AS-1. Sounds ace for bass but I prefer it for leads and pads. A taste of the P6 on a shoestring.
My Behringer Pro-One is my go to for basslines for basically every track. Really great for both nasty de-tuned lines and gritty sub bass, and responds to overdrive well. If I want something cleaner, I’ll go to my Digitone. SH-01A for more liquidy, resonance-based sounds, the Pro-1 filter resonance destroys the body of the sound.
