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
