"Weirdo" by the Charlatans UK - bassline

from the 1992 album 'Between 10th & 11th' {Beggar's Banquet}
This bassline is groovy (as is the song) & has a tricky rhythm, but I think it sounds harder than it really is. It was actually a favorite song of mine from high school...1992...yah yah, so it was 10 years ago :P This song still rawks :)
