A lot of it is 2 saws, one an octave higher that the other and unison, plus a lot of reverb but not that long of a decay and then low-pass filtering it

Not sure if you mean the bass (not so wide and reverby) or the wide and reverby "drone". I guess the latter.
Personally I would go for FM on that reverby wide drone. Had a quick try with a simple 3 operator stack with feedback, like in Yamaha DX7 algorithms #3 an #4, operators 4. 5 and 6. Ratio's 1:1:1. Carrier OP4 at full level. Modulator OP5 and OP6 at 80%/90% of full level. Fiddle with OP5 and 6 levels a bit. (add feedback if desired/needed). Then add a LONG and WIDE reverb.
BTW The driving bassline could also be an FM patch with feedback.
But...there are many ways to skin a cat.
Here's an exellent free Yamaha DX7 emulation to give it a try with FM:

Thanks guys! I will try
P.S.
Yes - I mean these wide, distorted drone-bass. It's hard for me to call it...

About the monotonous driving bass.
Just a quick try (also on Dexed FM). Using that same algorithm #4, starting with the "drone"patch settings (metioned before). Turn back OP5 level to about 70 (in Dexed). And OP6 to about 83. OP5 EG Rate 1 to 47 and Rate 4 to 66. EG Level 4 to 0. OP6 L2 and 3=76, L4=0, R1=66, R2=38 (the growl env) You could dial in a bit of a slower attack and a bit of a decay for OP4 (the carrier = the volume envelope) to get a bit more of the pulsating effect. Set feedback to 6 for the overdrive/distorty/growly bit.
But there are other ways to get similar results.
