    Stacked saws spread across three octaves or so. Some detuning/unison (on the two top oscillators). Some pitchbend (or portamento/glide automation).

    I would call it a lead, not a bass. Even though you can stack oscillators down below (try sine if you want it to be a "bass").

    what synth are you using?
    I may have a preset that you could deconstruct.
    I find that a good way to learn new sounds and techniques
    then personalize

    does sound like a basic supersaw though, maybe youtube supersaw tutorial.

    You can make a saw like this in no time with Sylenth1. try to stack multiple saws and a square oscilator as well.
    And we don't mind the playgirls ;)

    I'd prob add a slight pitch drop on the square/pulse as well as cutoff a/b

    First of all, thanks u all for the answers... I usually design some complex sounds, but that one sounds so simple (like layering of undetuned saws), but it's a bit tricky as well...

    Playgirls are always welcome =P

    Agree, a slight pitch drop seems to be the way, low detune and the right phase might help too... I'm gonna try that for sure ;)

    =P
