Growl Bass

consider the word 'growl'. its an onomapoetic noun. consider how you move your mouth and your tounge in your mouth when you say the word. the clue for how to make this sound is the 'o' and the 'w' in succession, the 'g', 'r' and 'l' are fine tuning and harmonic details which you can get in later. so do it, say 'ow', make your voice real low and say it slow, like in the tunes.
 
a synth is a good place to start but not strictly necessary as long as you have a sampler.
they are a good combination. synth1 is a nice synth and free and all

As said detune and distort, put a tight envelope on it as well.

I find syncing the oscillators gives a more nasty sound

Also slap a lowpass on it and attach an envelope to open up the cutoff so the growl jumps out of the sound so to speak
