Trying to find a certain tone...

Hey folks,

Been playing with this all day and just can't seem to find the right combination of technique, settings, etc. to emulate the bass tone in "On Call" by Kings of Leon...

Check out 0:37 - 0:50 of the following clip - it almost sounds like there's some sort of delay and I know he uses a pick, but I still can't seem to get close enough...

All thoughts welcome! Thanks in advance.

Have I finally stumped the TB crowd?

Guess I did.

Pick. Reverb. Humbuckers. High end rolled off a little. Perhaps a small amount of muting.

I think the reverb might be the secret ingredient - in fact, I think it's spring reverb. I was thinking chorus, which really didn't sound right.
