RE: enhancing the bass track
Well the obvious one is going to be filtering. But other than that, it really depends on the type of bass that you are mangling. I find that bass guitars often sound quite nice with loads of flanger, followed by eq and compression to tighten it back up. If you are after a completely new bassline as a result of mangling, there are loads of things that you can do. Phats and Small often take the main riff of a track that they are remixing and pitch it down, eq it then compress it. And repeat this process up to ten times till they have achieved a bassline out of something as obscure as strings and the like.
Though personally, I never mangle my bass other than with a touch of eq or filter, and compression here and there. I like my tight, smooth basslines.
