yes log i respect that alot. make them if you can. but i simply haven't got the time to sit and make these basslines for hard trance cause they're very hard to do and they have to be 100% right. Get it wrong and you'll wasted the WHOLE track and your time making it. i have to be quick these days making tracks casue of my DJ schedule etc. i use sampled bass for all my hard trance now and add a few effects/distortion to give it my own character. but i'm also, like you working on my own districtive bass sound that i will one day perfect... but until then it's samples all the way...
