Pluck the top string, but then pluck the bottom string - the top string will still sustain while you pluck the bottom string.

I think to create this effect, a Sampler would be easiest, but depending on how well splits and layers could be created and controlled on a synth you could do it on a synth too I guess.

I?m thinking I might need to invest in a sustain pedal.
The method I was talking about by using the Sampler would help with this problem.

Still though....

Can't beat a real bass player.
