There are 2 approaches.
1. (cheapest) is an octave pedal. There are several models on the market. MXR was one of the first to come out with it. http://www.zzounds.com/item--MXRM103. This won't sound much like a bass, but will be an octave lower, thus in the range. With distortion, it can be more convincing (if you're emulating a bass with distortion)
2. (Expensive) is a guitar synth. Roland makes very good guitar synths, and you can adapt them on an existing guitar. These comes with samples that can be very convincing.

The electric guitar and the bass have the same sound; one covers lower range and the other covers higher range. Pedals can shape the sound, but won't make something sound like something it's not.

I'd maybe start with a Boss brand Octive pedal. Or a subharmonic synthisizer. Many multi effects pedals made by POD, Zoom, or Boss/Roland have settings that might achieve that kind of tone.

no. the tone is way different... look at the low string on a bass, then a guitar... see its thicker. so no theres no way to make the sound without a bass... dude where are you... i play bass... wanna jam???
