maybe use a low pitched tom?? or EQ and adsr your kick? the "click" is something you need to focus.

might just be a sine bass you are after.

Anyway using an 808 kick for a bass is easy. Take a sample of it with full decay, then in the sampler, pitch it and put an envelope on it, then adjust the sample start time.

I think its the tom sound you are prob hearing, not necessarily 808.
