Written by:J.P.Maunick/R.Bull Bass Player:R.H.Taylor Transcription By:Simon Merrick
Hi, This bass line comes from the "Tribes, Vibes & Scribes" album. I think this song is great for building up left hand dexterity but it is a great song all round any how. Listen to the record for timing, changes(structure), and ad-libs. The main bass line has many ad-libs and sometimes Mr Hope Taylor changes the rhythm a bit but it is all based around this riff.

There are many variations in this riff sometimes he adds fills sometimes he leaves bars out. Listen to the record.
