My Feedback
Bass guitars with more than 4 strings
Questioner: How come you never play a 5 or 6 stringer Billy?
Billy Sheehan: "I dont need one, I have my hipshot for lower notes, and I can go to harmonics for higher notes"
Questioner: "do you own any"?
Billy Sheehan: " yes I have two or three, though rarely use them outside an ocassional studio set piece"
"I dont like to use them unless I really have to, as when a guy takes a 5 or 6 string bass into the studio, you see the engineers and producers, sighing and shaking their heads" :) (Smiles)
Billy Sheehan: " I have nothing whatseover against 5 or 6 string basses. I just belive that guys dont give themselves a proper chance on the 4 stringer first."
Questioner: How long is 'a proper chance'?
Billy Sheehan: " At least 20 years" (not smiling here, being serious)

The run-up (what's the technical term?) is C major. Not what you might expect. Make your guitarist/keyboard player do it stacatto!

As far as i have been able to tell, the main riff is:
Starting on B flat - root, root, fifth, third, (root) root root. Then repeated again on F, then G, then back to B flat for the last time, thereafter adding a C # run on the end as Bremen said. The run at the end of the sequence is a quickly played C# major scale.
You have to know the song to get the timing right, as it obviously is not stated below in this simple interval thingy.
Riff
A:-------------5th----3rd-------------
E:-------R-R-----------------R-R--

We cover this tune in my reggae covers band..always goes down well although we drop in a bit of the Apache Indian version for good measure We just play C maj on the run bit-seems to work well, the other bits are as per that tab above more or less - there is an interesting break as well.

Bands: A soul/funk/swing covers band for some money
& a few dub/reggae/ska outlets for party time.
Basses: Fender 4 & 5 jazz , Lakland 5501, and Warwick Fortress.
Sounds: Eden, Orange, Ampeg, Hartke, Carvin
FX: ZoomB3 & JOYO Compressor.
May be up for selling my Lakland 5501, with Nordstrands PU's (£600 + post in UK), PM for details.

Great tune! always gets the crowd dancing... even if they do sing Vitalite!
If you play it in Bb then the run up should be on a Db major scale.
Heres a link to my old reggae bands version as I cant seem to manage to embed youtube videos :s
