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". Jimbo http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/8583/index.html "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
