I'm spilling sauce today. I stumbled upon this method while trying to spice up one of my 808's. It can help give your bass patches more character, without sacrificing the clarity of your records. Essentially the trick is all about adding a small amount of reverb and distortion to your bass channel, but only on the high frequencies. Reverb on bass tracks isn't uncommon, but you should apply it in a way that doesn't make your tracks muddy. Too much build up in the low end can create some nasty phase issues.
