Any help?

Hey I'm totally new to bass and this may be the complete wrong place to even ask this question, but the below song... at 0:13 (13 seconds) the background heavy bass line starts. Was a bass guitar used to create this?? If not does anyone know how to make a bass line like this? A synthesizer? I'm sorry for being such a noob but I am lol. Any help would be super appreciated! If it's possible to use software to make a bass beat line like this can you tell me?
Here's the vid (bass starts at 0:13)

Yeah sounds like a synth to me.

Thanks bro! Quick question, can I get a software synth that will do this for me or must I use hardware?

Yep, that's a synth.

edit: you can use a soft synth

You can either use a keyboard synth or get a synth pedal and get a similar tone with your bass. Sounds like something you can really have some fun with.

Can't wait to try it! Going to try the software option first I think

If you do eventually want to try hardware, the Source Audio C4 and the Panda Audio Future Impact are both well regarded here. Both are "bigger on the inside" - you'll want to hook up to a computer with the app to experience and understand their full power. The interfaces on the stomp boxes are really too limited for the power in the box.

Boy, I'll be humming this one all day tomorrow........lol

A fellow bassist I recently jammed with showed me one of those. He's the original bassist and songwriter of a band I'm likely joining and he's going to drums. That pedal can cop some monstrous sounds

The last time I had my "full blown" Chapman Grand Stick synth setup, I had the high half going through the hex pickup to a Roland VG-99 and two Roland GR-55s, then I had the bass side going through the C4 and Future Impact in parallel. High Holy Hell, the sheer spread of sounds available! Unreal! So much fun. I just wish my lame Stick playing was up to the level of the equipment setup! lolz

Some lamely-played samples, most of the newer ones (top of list) have synths on.

That's pretty rad! Thanks for posting that

Thanks, yeah, I was going more for "subtle thickening" than "full on buzzy square wave synth bass", but these boxes can do it all. Amazing gadgets, really.
