Ok this was my attempt at this it might not be too good in places but you get the idea... hopefully! At least it's an attempt :) Intro ===== Big slide (on the A-string)from the 2nd or 3rd fret to the 7th or 9th (you choose it's just a bit of improv) then launch staight into the "main bass" riff below.
