Been experimenting trying to recreate this sound, but i cant seem to get it right. Its exemplified in these three songs:

I know alot the knock comes from a layered kick, 909 style seems to work well. But the stab itself im struggling with, anyone have any tips/know any preset that sounds like it? thanks in advance!
 
it's not the presets, it's how you mix the kick/bass. some tips
EQ the kick,
eqing the bass
volume control/limiter
 
On How Bout Now it seems like a pretty simple saw bass or something that is EQ'd with minimal highs, cuts in the mid and compressed in the lows. Like you said it may be layered with a light kick as well... doesn't sound like it's layered until the chorus though to be honest.
