It's a square bass with the right amount of bitcrusher. Doubled with different effects to give them space.
Plus sidechain.

get yourself spire vst.

thats what i am using all the time

get the bank freshly squuezed samples temple one essentials vol.1 for spire

there is a bass called multithick preset

and other basses sounding very close the cirkuts bass... its a bass with GLIDE

for sidechain u could use nickyromeros sidechain plugin

its not a square its a saw wave.

a square is used for example in lady gagas songs by redone.

this is a typical saw wave bass..classic iwould say with some slide and portamento.

nothing special about this bass?!

and i dont even know what daw cirkut is using...

is he on reason or cubase.

nevermind why u want to sound like dr luke or cirkut..

Cirkut is on Cubase.

And both songs given in example have different bass sounds. But his "signature" bass is the one you hear on C'Mon, Last Goodbye, Never Close Our Eyes ect.

I think It's a combination of saw waves, with a notch filter, EQ, reverb for space and distortion. I made one similar a while ago on Massive.

Is cool, isn't? It's like a different approach of a Cirkut type of bass synth.

Yeah it's definitely more square-ish and subtly distorted.

Thanks everybody.
I got pretty close with your suggestions, but still not the same.
I came to the conclusion that I just simply suck at synthesis.
Im going to try something simpler next time

^ got the right idea: I remade Good Feeling's bass a couple of months ago using a wide saw+sq into izotope trash + some bitcrush
