This is a cool bassline from the G. Love & Special Sauce tune Blues Music.

The song was recorded with an upright bass and is tuned down half a step. (Eb, Ab,
Db, Gb) If you have an upright or at least fretless bass, I strongly recommend using
it to get better sound. But since I don't have one I had to figure this out on my
electric.
