Wow. A blues scale. Now that's creative.

Without any idea of rhythm, it is pretty impossible to tell you anything but "It's a blues scale."

I just stole it and used it in my new song. HA!

[Spaceman Spiff]

It's a very basic riff, nothing really on its own, but keep working with it and see if you come up with something you like.

[EADGC]

I don't know why people associate "basic" with "bad".

[Raayl]

I don't know why people associate "basic" with "bad".

alliteration.

[EADGC]

true enough.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I used basic because bad wasn't the word I was going for. It isn't necessarily a bad bass line, but it's not a song on its own.

[TheJerkyBoys]

What's the rhythm like?

It may just be a blues scale but those slides just make it beautiful. And the way he doubles the 5th each time... just breathtaking.
With a bassline like this you could get in to berklee ez.
