The only way that I can see this would be possible is if the bass and kick were at the same point in space.

Could someone please try this and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly but your misconception seems to be about 'equidistance'. It's NOT about both distances (snare to Mic 1 + 2 / kick to mic 1+ 2) being the same but rather about :

a) snare center to Mic 1 and snare center to Mic 2 being equal distance.

b) kick center to Mic 1 and kick center to Mic 2 being equal distance.

The 'equal distances' of a) and b) are NOT the same though, maybe that's the thing you misunderstood.
