Making base sounds mono at the bottom and stereo at top

make a dupe of the bass track (the track, and the regions). reduce the treble frequencies on track one = mono bass. on the other track, roll off bass eq, then use the sample delay plugin (set it something like Left 0, right 303...).

 

play with those settings (you can, of course, change filter or attack settings in either track); you should be able to get the effect you want... and you have control (over their relative levels, tone,etc).

Here is what I would do....

1/ Create 2 tech bass software tracks

2/ Using the Key limit parameter in the track inspector - set one for the low key range you want mono, set the other for the higher freq key range. 

3/ Insert a mono gain plugin on the lower freq bass track.

4/ Record enable both tracks - Now when you play - you will hear the lower freq ( key range you specified as mono, higher range you specified as stereo).

 

To visually show this - I bounced both regions after recording... so you can see the end result.

Track 1 is the low mono freq - Track 2 is the high freq stereo ( tracks 3 & 4 are the respective bips)

In LP X you can use a Channel EQ, switch it to "Side" and cut off the low frequencies. Since you are in LP 9, you can use the Direction Mixer to split your signal into Mid and Side, then EQ the Side part and finally use another Direction Mixer to convert it back to LR-Stereo (you will need to use sends and AUXes to do all that).

It seems Eriksimons suggestion is spot on. 

Doing it only in Logic, I would set the output of the ES2 track to a bus, have two aux'es input that bus, the first aux set to mono input with a HiCut/LP filter around 150 hz, the second aux stereo with LoCut/HP set  to around the same hz.
