Try this:
If your bassline is in the key of A (55, 110, 220, 440 hz fundamental) then put a very steeply sloped notch filter on your kick at 55 or 110 hz.
Then, EQ your kick with a very sharp peak at a non-multiple or the bassline fundamental. For instance, 72 or 90 Hz. (stay away from 5ths, in this case 82.5 Hz or 165 Hz).
Put a corresponding notch in your Bassline.
Ta-da, you now have a little more play between the two elements.
DO NOT USE THIS TRICK WITH SINE WAVE KICKS. It's pretty much for acoustic, or "noisy" kicks. Pitch enveloped Sine wave kicks are too tonal for this sort of thing, or you'll alter the dynamics of the kick over time, which will **** with the apparent timing of your kick or rob it of energy.
