I just wanted to add that doubling the bass an octave up is also a useful trick if you have a bass part that is not “reading” on small speakers, such as laptop speakers, that cannot reproduce low frequencies accurately. You can accomplish the same thing with the original bass sound if it has enough of a midrange component, but sometimes that doesn’t happen, and doubling can be a good workaround. You can make the doubling instrument wacky, as Tony mentions, or just something that sits there subtly, helping the part “read”.
