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

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?!

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.

Whatever that link is  up there ^ is cool! Sounds fun. Bass line is rad.

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  :P

^ 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
