This sort of Bass Guitar tone is achieved by both the equalization utilized by the performer, and by their individual technique. Essentially, Korn bassist Fieldy uses a "slap" technique when playing bass, whereby he is striking the strings with his fingers rather than plucking them to produce notes. This technique in itself produces a percussive sound. This is augmented by the removal of most, if not all mid-range frequencies from his bass guitar tone via the amplifier, leaving only the high and low frequencies. This is known as "scooping the mids" and is a popular EQ setting in "heavy metal" music, especially with rhythm Guitarists because of the seemingly "large" guitar sound one achieves. These EQ settings augment the clicking/clacking sounds of the percussive technique Fieldy employs.

It's the bass guitar. Korn tunes their instruments a half step lower, and because bass strings already don't have much tension it creates that clicking. Fieldy also uses the "slap" technique, so that will also accentuate that tone.
