Please don't take this the wrong way, but IMHO he's completely overplaying a classic line (I'm quite happy with the tone, just about 4 times too many notes!)
Better written than most of the Bass Books I've read (with the exception of Guy Pratt'a aforementioned tome): Bunnyman by Will Sergeant (the guitarist of Echo and the Bunnymen). If you are of a certain age and liked 80s Liverpool Bands it is a really good read. I am taking the sequel: Echoes on my hollibobs.
I still remember being buzzed by one of those at dusk, while camping on a Dof E expedition in the Lake District. they did make quite a noise (not the band obvs!).
