How do i get these bass "synth" sounds?

[Mr.Typhus]

I've been hearing this "new sound" on some fusion bass players albums and i just cant seem to find a way to make my bass sound like that with any effect... Does anyone have idea how to create these sounds?

And also that synth bass sound from Tony Greys album "Chasing Shadows"

Have a look at what pedals they use themselves? Ask them personally if you can.

Start with an OC-2, that is the main ingredient on the videos posted. From there a nice lowpass filter to fatten up the basic tone and maybe some modulation, but mostly the OC-2 was being heard there. (I think the subtle modulation in Janek's video was from his left-hand technique)

In the second clip he's using a Digitech Bass Synth Wah.

+1 and correct!
Very interested in this project.

This video has a clear shot of the bassist's board from the second clip with an OC-2, a Bass Synth Wah, and some 4 knob orange pedal that I can't identify (for shame).

Maybe an Xotic BB? I'm not sure.

Sounds like some ring modulation in there (especially in the first clip).

Maybe try TB's Ask Janek Gwizdala forum?

Very cool bass sound on that video.
