Yes. Although with the degree of chromaticism and syncopation in Jamerson's playing, "Shadows" might be daunting for a new reader!

Just to throw in a curveball... and probably not most people's cup of tea at all!... but I've always thought this bassline is a real peach, albeit repetitive.

Harder to play (well) than it sounds, too.

One of my fave 'alternative groove' bands of recent years was Garaj Mahal - sadly now split up - their album Blueberry Cave is a cracker -
