yeh, I'm fairly certain I'm right on that track, there is a fairly clean example of it in this mix, http://liveset.org/discussion/47235/hardtrance-the-generator-hard-nrg-vol-5/p1 particularly audible around the 20 min zone at the transition. It could just be the shape of the kick (reverse combined with regular possibly, but it sounds different). If it's not a double kick, it's something percussion, not part of the bass line.

It's a doubled up bass line.

I think its a double bass there.
Two hits on the bass stab instead of one.

Me and Dante done a double bass track a while back. ;)

Shameless plug - http://soundcloud.com/audio-warfare/audio-warfare-dante-drug-real-128kbps-clip

Also working on a track with a double kick section in it too. :D

I do love that sort of sound personally. There is plenty of it in Psy Trance.

I find happy hardcore to fast to properly hear any effect it would make. that's why it works so well in hard trance where there is already a large focus on the bass line to complement the melody.

Yeah it's not at all effective in Hardcore unless it's done right, the genre is simply too fast and it just sounds like music that's pitched up, much like all recent Hardcore actually.
