The song's rhythm is heavily swung, just follow the song rather than
the rhythms I've put here.

In the dub version, there are various moments where the bass drops
out of the mix etc. but as it's looped when it comes back in it
may not be at the start of the riff.
There's a D|3 played before the riff kicks in (when there's the sound
of the tape winding) if you want to play the dub version exactly as
it's recorded.
For best effect use an envelope filter and slight reverb.
Enjoy this great bassline!
