Ditto that, @PamPurrs . . . 
The more I practice, I have found the same things (except I don’t have a 5 string).
Big difference in timbre between the E on the 12th fret of the E string, the E on the 8th fret of the A string, and the E on the 2nd fret of the D string, even though they are all the same frequency (82.4 Hz).
Cheers, Joe
My try just kept it simple, with a funky twist
Thanks, @JoshFossgreen. I REALLY like sliding. Although, I’m not so happy with how I played the line so I’m going to redo it over the weekend.
Nice! Really cool to hear all the different ideas people come up with 
Okay, this take is much better and more of what I was going for. 
Never posted a link before, so I hope this works. I just added a 2-bar click count-in to the track (104 bpm). which might be useful if you want to hit the ‘one’, or even play some pick-up notes before the guitar comes in.
PS. still working on my bass line 
This is certainly helpful for many, but you can also do that “automatically” in GarageBand, where you can chose between 0, 1 or 2 bars of count-in before the recording starts.
Also, I think the original tempo is probably 110 bpm, but that’s not a big difference… better than no count-in in any case
Looking forward to your bass line!!
@joergkutter and @sfadams
I also guessed it to be 110, and added a one bar rhythm track at the beginning so I knew exactly where to come in. I use Audacity, which doesn’t seem to have the ease of adding a count-in that GarageBand has. I had to do some math, and determine how many seconds the count-in should be to include exactly 4 beats. I wish Audacity had that feature to automatically add a count-in like GarageBand has.
Here’s my attempt. Sounded cool while I played it, but listening back, kinda cheesy. I’m still hacking through the course (Module 10), so please go easy on me!
I don’t think it’s cheesy, sounds cool to me 
Nothing cheesy about that. Excellent job!
I would agree with the others, @sfadams - nothing “cheesy” about it. One criticism could be that it is more of an improvisation over these chords than a regular bass line; mostly on account that you are not repeating many patterns etc. However, that said, I think the border between a regular (repeating) bass line and and improvised bass line is somewhat undefined
Thanks @joergkutter, @Jazzbass19, @JerryP, @PamPurrs, @howard for all your replies, and compliments! I’m delighted that you all enjoyed it!
And thanks @joergkutter for your constructive comment. I agree it’s not the steadiest or most repetitive bass line. My excuse, I guess, is that I thought the guitar and drums were quite ‘static’ and left quite a bit of space, and so I wanted to add some colour and movement, at least to the extent I could.
glad you like it. it is very simple actually
i first went down the melodic and walking bass line path, but could not resolve these, so went rhythmic and because the Ddim the jazzy route
basically what i play is close to bossa nova 3 variations in no particular order
r-r8-r8-r, r-f3-f3-r, r-5-5-r, r-r8-r8-9-r8
r-r8-r8-x-r, r-f3-f3-x-r, r-5-5-x-r, r-r8-r8-9-r8
r-r8-r8-x, r-f3-f3-x, r-5-5-x, r-r8-r8-9-r8
where x is a ghost note
