What Catasbeats is saying (I think) is:
-Once you have your sample in a track (lets call this Track 1), copy it to another track (lets call this track 2).
-Mute all of the tracks except for track 2.
-Remove all of the high frequencies from track 2, leaving just the low & mids.
-Play around with the EQs on track 2 trying to emphasize or create MORE bass sounds.
-How about we throw a compressor on track 2 too!
-Maybe some distortion on track 2?? Really create a BASS heavy track out of a sample that originally consisted of a good range of frequencies.
-Now unmute the rest of the tracks....play around with the EQ on track 2 a bit more to calm the bass heavy animal we created.
-BAM!!!!!
-Now we got a bass track that is without a doubt going to be in tune with the original sample!!!

I caught on to this from listening to some of Madlibs stuff. He seems to be a BIG fan of this.

This is kinda like cheating and doesnt work well on every project, but sometimes it really works well!
