Well, the first thing that comes to mind is to play a bass line with 
your guitar, then pitch it down by one octave using the Rubber Band 
stuff in Ardour. Roll off the highs with a bit of EQ, and it might make 
for an interesting bass sound.

Beyond that, you need pitch and envelope following, and a Google search 
didn't turn up anything in the Linux realm in that regard. That doesn't 
mean there's nothing out there.
