So, I'm working on a new track. I guess you can say it's for lack of better words 'melodic dubstep.' The thing is I don't have any idea how to go about the bassline apart from the sub as there are no tutorials whatsoever on the topic. Any ideas?

This is a very vague question. You'll get a better response if you outline clearly what you are after, and maybe post some examples of what you are trying to achieve
 
You mean you want a bassline that plays along a melody? Uhmmm maybe make the melody and connect it to the bass patch, voila melodic dubstep?

One of the biggest parts of production is learning how to do things yourself, and simply just palying around with ideas of your own. it helps to develop your own sound I guess.
 
in my opinion, a melodic dubstep bass is pretty much just a sub. maybe put a lowpassed reese on it (really lowpassed) so its got a smoother feel to it. Most of the movement in a melodic dubstep trakc (i assume you mean artists such as phaelah) comes from the melody of keys, strings, synths and percussion

Not really. Phaeleh is great but I'm referring to artists such as Blackmill, MitiS, etc. I know the genre is more focused around keys, strings, synths, etc, but the bass is still very important. Will try out the reese suggestion. Thanks.
 
lol i no i was being a cunt cos its not the whole brostep fuck i hate brostep and its pooring over into dnb now :/

yeah but a layered subbass, usually the same melodic pattern or a simplified version... i know some of shufunks subbass is literally a flat 4 bar subbass midi under all his other crazy shit
