I know that it is a wobble bass. "Wobble bass" is an incredibly generic word, it basically only means you put an LFO on something.
Sorry if I didn't express myself clearly, I wanted to know how to make the tone, the sound of this bass.
I haven't met it in a tutorial yet, and I suspect there's some distortion going on (which none of the tutorials really covered).
The only one that comes near is the Advanced LMMS tutorial, which simply tries to use a saw with white noise. While that's fine, it's not at all what is happening here.

LFOs are usually inconsequential, you can always add or remove them.

sound remotely right?
That is FM synthesis

I've found that I can get a cool dubstep tone by playing around with the SID synthesizer and then adding the "Audio Divider (Suboctave Generator)" LADSPA Effect that comes with LMMS.

EDIT: When Using the Suboctave Generator, I usually turn the Denominator function all the way to 8.

The combination of low/bandpass with high resonance - distortion - lowpass can make some really interesting sounds.
I'm experimenting with the gaussian and diode waveforms, they seem pretty promising.
