It wasn't the bass, but rather the guitar.

The bass player tuned the strings down a full step to be quite loose, and turned the treble up which gave it this really clicky tone that sounded like a bunch of tictacs being thrown down an empty concrete stairwell.

He wanted it to be percussive to cut through the monster lows of the guitar.
