Gate your bass to the kick drum? As In your bass only comes out when the kick drum is played?

That's backwards to how pretty much everyone I've ever heard does it. Are you sure you don't mean a compressor, so that your bass ducks out when the kick dum is hit?

In either case I don't think there are currently any pedals that do it, so I'm afraid you'll have to get a rack unit.

What you're after is a gate pedal with the ability to side-chain (Great for hip-hop and electro music). Alesis Microgate is about the size of a large pedal and can do this for you. Otherwise, a cheap rackmounted gate would be the way to go because pedal-wide, other than the Paia 5730 Gator which hasn't been manufactured in 30 years (or something obscene) you're at a loss.
