If so, I have been able to create sounds like that before. If I remember right, it was using a combination of a few different techniques, including:

Unison
noise-based FM
Lots of distortion :>

Amp envelope is important to give it impact, pay particular attention to the attack and release knobs. Also remember it won't truly have an impact until you have a kick drum punching in at the start of the sound. :>

thanks for the helpful reply mate, much appreciated.

That prodigy track is getting along the right lines but is still quite a different sound. The MBV bass has more of a sucking bass guitar slide sound to it or something...there is lots of attack on it and it doesn't coincide with a bass kick, i think there is some interesting compression on it too. I am most interested in finding a way to get similar movement. fm + unison could be a good place to start recreating the tone/texture though.
