I have been wondering for a while because Nick Sentience did a very similar bass line for his remix of Taiko's Uno Dos Tres Cuatro, but I have never been able to find a video of that.
It sounds like some kind of pre-delay reverb or something like that. Can someone explain in detail?
Do you mean the kick drum release on the hardstyle kick?
Or
The single 303 Acid sound
If its the kick then its just the end of the kick sample that someone has made if its the 303 thing try venom from KVR its the free 'attempting to be authentic' replica
Edit: its the tail end of a hardstyle kick sample dont ask me how they make them Im still trying to make a decent self synthed trance kick.
Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Awful quality, which is tough on low frequencies. Sounds like a highly verbed kick that probably has some sort of a high frequency element on it's tail in some way or another. Could also be some mild distortion. Again, really hard to evaluate low frequencies with such a bad sample.

That is a bass kick with reverse gate reverb. I put together a sample pack a few months ago that has this very sound. Here's the link:
So how would I go about making a sound like that myself? I had a look on youtube with various combinations of 'reverb', 'gated' and 'reverse', but all I could find were tutorials on stupid hardstyle kicks.
Which program are you using? If you're using FL like me it will be very easy to explain.
I don't really know anything about FL... but I can't imagine it not having reverse gate verb built in somewhere.
You can create the effect manually easy enough by applying reverb (with an abrupt stop) to a bass kick then dropping out the dry signal. Take that, bounce it, do a fade in on the audio file, then layer that over the original bass kick.

Did you try installing a microphone in your toilet?

I think it's a lot simpler,
I think it's a "breathy" synth preset playing the same frequency as the kick or a harmony of it, (on this PC I can't pull any analysis on it), the synth sound is then side-chain compressed from the kick, and effects added to that, not the kick.
I really don't think it's a kick drum effect at all, nobody wants to mess with the kick other than frequency and dynamic control, it's just not practical.
Try putting the track in a WAVE editor and see what's happening, it'll make more sense there.
