also mate one of the most important things u need when mixing bass is a decent set of monitors and it helps if your room is accoustically treated as much as you can. You'll never get your room acoustically perfect (unless u have a lot of money) but doin the best u can will help a lot. I mixed for years on hi fi speakers and was always struggling with the volume of bass. Monitors fixed 80% of me bass troubles. If techno and dance music in general is your thing then the ABL bassline 2 plugin is an important weapon to own. Remember to hi pass your bass frequencies somewhere around 40-70hz depending on your relation to your kick as well.
