How to get Bass Fret Click sound ala Steve Harris Iron Maiden??

So I've searched thru as many Bass libraries as I can and although there are a lot of Slap Bass sounds, there just doesn't seem to be anything like a simple fret click. This is the sound made by playing the strings hard with fingers and slapping the string down against the fret instead of sort of 'picking' or strumming.
 
Don't know if this makes any sense. Any ideas on how to produce this? I have Dimension and Rapture, plus Kontakt 4 and SampleTank, PPG wave 3.v...
 
This sound, as used by Steve Harris, is excellent for bringing definition to the rhythm the bass is playing - really cuts through any low end mud

    bruckner2 - there are lots of examples in YouTube demos on Trilian.

    Check this one out. It's part of a series of illustrative demos. This whole clip is good, but you might find from about the 6 minute mark to the 10 minute mark some pretty exciting ideas.
