There we go, simple but effective.
Watch the timing BTW — It's totally different from the guitar.
I've tried to indicate some form of timing — the octave jump is very
quick.

Anyone out there got any more Verve bass—lines? Esp. "Slide Away".

"I stand accused just like you,
For being born without a silver spoon,
Stood at the top of the hill,
Over my town I was found."

—Richard Ashcroft, "This is music" by the Verve
