Tips for finding a good bass sound for a guitar-oriented song?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I'm recording a song that's based around guitars — kind of a lo-fi indie/alt sound. I managed to play the guitar, but I don't have/play bass. Does anyone have advice for finding a good synth bass sound (doesn't have to sound like an electric bass, but has to fill that spot/frequency range in the song), or writing a synth bass part that fits with a more electric-guitar-type song? Any examples of bands that do this well? </p> <p>I'm having trouble finding something that really fits. The bass either seems to stand out too much or has no definition/presence whatsoever. And I feel like if I play it at the same octave as a bass guitar, it feels like it doesn't sound deep enough. </p> <p>Thanks!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Actual_Barnacle"> /u/Actual_Barnacle </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/rsjh19/tips_for_finding_a_good_bass_sound_for_a/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/rsjh19/tips_for_finding_a_good_bass_sound_for_a/">[comments]</a></span>
