I have always looked for how to get that perfect bass behind the leads like Dubvision or Vicetone.

I have found similar basses but none that fit with the song as of right now. I know this is really generic and noobish but I would love some help. Thank you! (:

Heres my attempt: https://clyp.it/jxrbgemi

Sub: Square wave
Mid: Filtered saw with overdrive distortion
Top: saw with izotope trash distortion and guitar amp

Compress, sidechain, eq, saturate the group.

I think that characteristic bass sound you're talking about is a picked electric bass processed quite heavily with a distortion unit. A sample library from Native Instruments played with Kontakt combined with Guitar Rig for example. You can hear a lot of these sounds on Alesso's older productions.

I think a great starting point for you is to watch this video of Dubvision going through Turn It Around. Make sure to enable subtitles on Youtube.

I agree with this. its definitely a bass guitar and not a 'simple' waveform like a square or saw.

Interesting to hear that this sound is a bass guitar... that's new to me

I remade Turn It Around for you, let me know if you want me to explain how I made any of the sounds. The bass is just a sub (lowpassed trancebass 1 from nexus), electric guitar playing the root and a 5th an octave up, a saw with an envelope on a highpass to make that 303 'wow' sound, and a dephased saw playing the root and the 5th, and finally an picked bass guitar with some distortion :~)
