Haha thanks for the kind words, and for posting my video! I think N&R basslines are awesome, and I've been really inspired by that type of sound myself. From what I've heard, Bruce uses a lot of samples, so it's a matter of combining sounds that fit well together and processing them accordingly. I've shown my method in that video, and even though it may seem overly complicated, I still do it that way. Basically, I start by loading a bunch of samples and/or synths to cover the following categories: "farts" (for the lack of a better word, haha) - for continuous notes, "stabs" for building the groove, FX for filling up the gaps (could be reverb tails, etc), sub bass, and a few percussion hits to accentuate some bass notes. Once I have these categories loaded up, I start building the groove by placing those sounds where they need to be (according to some initial idea that might be playing in my head), and move them around until it sounds good. Some 20 versions later, this may turn into a decent bassline, or go to trash.
And yes, that DeVas bassline is really good! I think they have a pitched-down sub bass note in there which gives it that wobble effect. Really nice work on the sub overall. Also check out some recent Fatum tracks (Tryst, Take Me Back, Hold On remix), they all have immense basslines!
