The bass comes in at 00:25, the steady pulsing analog bass sound (the beginning of each phrase also has a one-note taurus-style bass layered with it, but I'm asking about the main quarter-note pulsing bass sound)

I know from an interview that he has "A Prophet 5 and some old Oberheims" in his rig. But I want to get this sound with a soft-synth, I'm thinking Diva or Omnisphere 2 would be best (I also have OP-X Pro II, though...)

Any thoughts on what gives such a simple sound so much character? It has a sort of rich, boxy quality.. not sure what else to call it. Is that coming from the filter being overdriven a bit? Just guessing...

And all ideas / approaches would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

again, the BASS in question starts at 25 seconds in --

Video blocked here. This should work:

Sawtooth based bass with Saw-LFO on filter should do it.

Here my design in Synth1:

To make it fat unison is used. A touch of noise mixed in. Not much of saturation or distortion.

Hi Chris, can you please share this preset with us? Thank you for you effort!

Sure.
Use your MOD wheel to dial-in the LFO filter modulation.

Above demo was with a touch of reverb.
