Thanks, mate 
Sample single 16th note, pitch it around and go out for crazy filter rides, maybe?
If you already have a TB-03, Id use the MPC as a sequencer and drums + a sampled baseline.
As I don’t work with samples very often (and never have touched a MPC: I could also think of sampling and acid loop and check out different slicing options).

I love my modded MAM MB33. So tiny and the additional mods are all really useful. If you are already externally sequencing its a great choice.
I only have a bit of modern MPC experience, but if it was me I’d try using one of the MPC synths (Iona the 101-style or Model D the Moog-style) and massage it to be as Acid as possible.
had this for ages in non-modded format and loved its simplicity and abilty to get really deep whoops
Yeah I’m having some success with Iona there, but sometimes it doesn’t quite scratch the itch, ya know?
I used to have a pair of MB-33’s. Sounded great 
yeah close your eyes and tell me its not a tb303 from the 80’s
cork sniffers be damned!
will post some more acidlab bassline 3 stuff here:
Its not a tb303
It can do nice slides and generate acid basslines for sure, but it’s a bit off at times.
I like this demo of it as well:
the bombass is a different animal - more of a 101/202?
Both are used in the video and yes, the Bombass, which has been retired is a different animal, closer to an Avalon in terms of possibilities (but still with a 303 base).
what do think about my theory…that the acidlab bassline 3 has the tb303 sounds in it, but has an extended range so as long as you stay within certain parameters (for auguments sake say dont go oveer three quarters on any parameter) it is more or less indistignuishable from the old tb303 - but once you go past those parameter its obviously a different animal
heres the acidlab with nothing past three quarters!!!
The Engine suddenly dissappeared from everyone’s radar, did they create a new version of it?
No, he closed up shop. I think you can still buy the expansions as he must still have stock.
I did the bad thing again
I had a TT-303 before but I like the mk2 much better after a few hours using it. The rubber buttons feel a lot better, the knobs also feel much more solid, and it’s much easier to see what you’re doing with the whole button lighting up. I slightly miss the nostalgic aesthetics of the original TB but this looks and feels slick. I also like the mute and hammer buttons. Mute basically cancels accent (but holding it with accent yields a secret third thing, like when you hold down and up toghether), and hammer resets the envelope on every trigger so slide is neutralized and also boosts it in a different way from accent. Mixing it Up and Slide cna give rather satisfying sounding kicks which is weird and unexpected. Being able to tweak gate, slide time, and shuffle is nice too. The first two are fairly subtle but shuffle can add a lot of groove, I’m using it more than expected. It’s global rather than per pattern but I can’t complain.
The saw wave sounds a bit darker/heaver than I remember from my previous unit, I’m friends with the guy I sold it to so might being them together and compare one of these days.
In my experience, most devices inspired by the original “fail” at one thing or another. Usually in the higher register or the way the slide sounds with accents, but for the best ones, you can’t tell by just listening to a bassline, you have to do a side by side comparison and use specific patterns to detect differences. I’m pretty sure a big reason for the difference stems from the age of the original.
At the end of the day, for me, it doesn’t really matter for new explorations. I really like the accent on the modded mab-33 per example, but nobody would call it a good copy. If I need something faithful, I reach for the Avalon, but software has become really good and I’m sure I’ll have some time in 2028 to do a full comparison again ;).
As always the problem with trying to compare a modern recreation of a classic analog synth is twofold:
One could argue that an acidlab clone sounds more like an OG 303 from the 80s than an OG 303 from the 80s does today.
Sounds lovely
