Have a riff and a bass line and then swap them for part of the tune. It’s fun.

The bass is pretty much playing the melody and the guitars come in for stabby rhythmic things when needed.
it’s a great tune.

Youtube is full of isolated bass tracks that sound horrible on their own, but amazing in the mix. They sound much cleaner in the mix too.

I pretty much set the sound up with humbuckers, and then leave it alone and play it with a strat. Works really well.
Double tracked of course for those tiny variations that do so much. None of that copy-paste crap. There's zero point having duplicate identical tracks.

It isn't disconnected from the song or the rhythm at all. It's mostly played on every beat in 4/4 and then in some places as quavers. It is true that the original recording is quite lacking and some bass notes stand out in odd places, but it is one of the most "on time" bass parts ever written. It's just a walking bass line that moves with the chord changes without anything weird going on.
The bass part was played by Willie Dixon. The style is very common for the era and the music type.
This cover version has the bass turned up a bit and has the music on screen.
