The next part is interesting - there are two parallel bass lines. The main one is right down below. The second one (let's call it overdub) can be heard only on a separate bass track. You don't need to play the overdub - I just added it here since I thought that's something interesting. Break (play this part):
   +     +     +     +      +     +     +     +      +     +     +     +      +     +     +     +
