what Vsts to make dirty electro basses?
and what ones to process the bass, (using ableton)

The TAL series I find are pretty good. Bassline and Noisemaker esp.

Bassline - http://kunz.corrupt.ch/?Products:VST_TAL-BassLine

Noisemaker - http://kunz.corrupt.ch/?Products:VST_TAL-NoiseMaker

And Ele7ro if you're so inclined - http://kunz.corrupt.ch/?Products:VST_TAL-Elek7ro

i'm using massive less and less lately because it has a very distinct character to it that i don't really like BUT for electro (as in electo house i suppose) basslines it's really a beast. try messing with phase modulation for a bass sound that's kinda like this:


then sidechain it to the kick. congratulations, you're now an electrohouse hero!

Quoting someone from over on Gearslutz who said it with perfect concision:

all you really need is a saw with an open filter.

Anything that has a saw. That's any VST.
Play with distortion and overdrive etc..
Then get the modulated LFOs on LPcutoff

NI Massive.

Check out my track 'Swaggasaurus' [Scroll way down on my Soundcloud] and if you want the two basses in that you can have presets.
They're really simple.

Let me know.

Massive does have a preset called "brutal electro"
