Playing Bass guitar in Electronic Dance music

[iophant]

I have been producing dance music for over decade, psy trance mainly. I recently bought an electroacoustic bass to help me writing better bass lines. now i would like to play my bass lines live but i'm not very aware of the gear available to make a bass guitar sound like a synth. i'm aware of the roland gr-20 but it seems to sound quite generic, also it's not bass specific.
a friend of mine uses a variety of pedals and the sound seems to deteriorate and become duller at every step.
when designing a bass i tend to use a sawtooth as the basis of it and i found the less fxs i add the better.
has anyone gone this path? any suggestions?

What sort of basslines do you want to do on the bass? If its driving sequencer style stuff then you can't beat the [url="http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/adrenalinn3/adrenalinn3.shtml"]Linn Adrenalinn[/url].
