Help Finding Specific Fuzz Sound (example in thread)

Hi everyone. So, I've been listening to Shara Worden's new album a bunch since it came out, and there's a real tasty fuzz bass going on towards the end of one of the songs, that I'm at the point where I really want to add it or something like it into my sound. So after searching the forum for a couple of hours, since I know there's an endless trail of fuzz threads out there, I realized I have no idea where to even start looking. There are so many different types of fuzzes out there that I'm not sure which one I'm looking for. So I figure I'd post the song to see if anyone would be willing to identify it, or at least let me know what type of fuzz I'm looking for.

It comes in at about 2:58,

I noticed when I saw her live she had a Barker Assmaster, though she was using that for her guitar. So it's possible she might have handed it to her bassist to use when they were recording the album, but everything I've heard of the Assmaster sounds much more buzzy. I'm thinking it might be something along the lines of a Fuzz Face, but I'm really not certain about that either. If anyone has some more input as to what it might be or at least what I should be searching for, I'd love to hear it!
 
Bumping this old thread since I still have not found anything close to this effect. I bought a B:assmaster shortly after posting this originally, and I could not get it anywhere close to that sound. I ended up selling it earlier this year because I couldn’t get any usable tones out of it, so that wasn’t the answer. Listening to it again, it almost sounds like maybe it’s an overdrive? Does anyone have any more ideas what could sound that choppy with that much presence in the low end and mids?
