What kind of music are you doing that requires double tracked bass guitars?
That's not very common.
Eurobass and djinn bass are the industry standard for doing heavy shit if that's what you're after, even though they aren't double tracked.
Don’t know if there is any bass library that includes double tracking. What about double tracking with a regular bass library and not quantizing it? Or maybe use some effects?
That's not the same and can cause phasing issues. But you could use the transposition trick - transpose one bass 2 semitones down and transpose its midi data 2 semitones up, then hardpan both basses left and right.
For things you can't transpose that way, there is a double tracking emulation here (win only I think)

Doesn’t the transposition trick creates intervals instead of the double tracking effect? And the plugin should be similar to Waves Abbey Road Reel ADT if not the same. It creates the double tracking effect exactly by manipulating phasing issues.
The transposition trick makes sure that you have 2 notes at the same pitch but not the same recording. So you can pan one left and one right. Creates a wider stereo image.

If he meant 2 semitones up and down instead of cents, it’d be Bb, C, D if it’s in key of C, or D, E, F#.
I don't know that one, but it could be. Plugins that simulate double tracking do push mono signals out of phase to make them wider, that's true. My concern with the method you suggested (2 performances on the same instrument) was that if the instrument doesn't have round robins or velocity layers, so that every note is the same sample on both instances, you'll create very unnatural phasing effects that change per note (based on the time difference between triggering the note on both instances) instead of a more consistent phasing effect from a dedicated plugin, or better yet proper double tracked samples. If the instrument at least has velocity layers, you can try using a different velocity layer on each track and adjusting with effects to get them to sound more similar. But the "transposition trick" probably works the best if you don't have an easier way to avoid round robin "collisions" between 2 instances of the same instrument.And the plugin should be similar to Waves Abbey Road Reel ADT if not the same.

These are real good !!Easy to use.I like the approach to double tracking. Just one click for separate outputs.Our Evolution Roundwound Bass and Flatwound Bass libraries have up to quadruple tracking along with adjustable timing humanization between the tracks. You can even send the tracks out to separate audio outputs if you want even more control.
