Make a bassline like normal, then duplicate track, put reverb on it, turn the mix to 100% wet or a bit less, mess with some reverb parameters, slowly bring the fader up over the dry track to your liking

Try messing around with some very fast delays. I don't know what DAW you are using but if you are using Ableton drag in a simple delay over a bassline you have and set the parameters to somewhere around this: Link the delays, click sync to change it to time and put the time to ~20.0 ms. It works better on basses with sharp attacks! Good luck!

I like using a send channel for this with a short reverb set to 100% wet, then you can shoot all your basses and/or synths over there too

Fast delays/comb filtering, phase modulation is a big one as well! Makes everything sound metallic instantly haha

combfilter, or chorus with high feedback and slow modulator
