I've come close, but not close enough...

do you think it's a real bass, a synth or a mixup... what effects would you recommend to get a similar result? Is it possible with a Virus? If not: I got a bass-guitar, too... but can I get this sound out of it???
This artist (Alan Braxe) always has that kind of basslines... so damn funky!
