Anyone got any or know of a decent source? Preferably the bit shit synthesised sounding kind but any would be great.

Cheers.

Sheeeit... the Slap Bass patch in the general MIDI 1 kit should be more than fine for this. Just use a little bitcrush or whatever to degrade it and make it sound more synthetic.

But as KnobGoblin says...

But if you insist, be sure to post up this track when it's done.

Sorry man, Jaco NEVER slapped.

The Seinfeld bass was a synth. I would investigate the FM7, FM8, or analog synths like the DX7, DX100, etc
