    I picked up the bass in late January. I've just started this bass line tonight. Its so smooth sounding. (Not my playing mind!) I've managed to get the first part of it down from a note point of view. Just need to drill the accuracy now. My Fretting hand still isn't too strong (especially my pinky but I have the shape and note order in check!) Thanks for the tabs!

    @NateNavarro Thank you for being "the guy" who posted this and for that you've certainly earned my subscription. I love bass lines that groove above all else but buried in the mix is that ONE FILL and now (of course) I need to know how to do that. I need to make that a part of my playing style. Broken down slow it's a simple line but those 16 notes are so damned cool sounding sped up.

That album was stuck in my CD player for years and is still one of my favorite reference albums. I'm just sorry it took me this long to know who you are. You have such a great range as a bass player and it's very inspiring as I go through all of your videos.

    Love your sound, I just switched to flats and I aspire to tone like this.
    Kind of nitpicky, but to my ears you missed a couple of the middle notes in Thundercat's fill, I hear (in scale degrees of E maj) 7-8-6-7-(5)-(3), where you play 7-8-6-7-(3)-(2)
    Sounds good the way you do it too, great video!
