Probs not the best of jamiroquai's funky tunes but
i was amazed how many tabs were wrong for this simple bass line
especially since stuart zender and paul turner dont usually
give us mere mortals such an easy time with playing their lines)

Break Down Section
Its hard to hear exactly the notes that Paul turner is
playing do to his heavy use of effects in this section but
I've narrowed it down and to be honest this section gives you
enough freedom to be as freaky as you like since its pretty much
all down to you low end monsters.

That's pretty much it for this tune, give the song a
good listen before you play to get the rhythms locked in
and have fun with it.
This is all my own work, transcribed by ear from the track,

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar. The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string (usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string. For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

A|---------3-------|
E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret). Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
