Complete Bassline by Rick Kennell, bassist for Happy the Man, a brilliant American Prog-Rock band from Washington D.C. who released this great song from their album Crafty Hands released in 1978.
This is the complete song -- seven (7) pages of transcription which required five days to transcribe it all from scratch;-)

*****A big thanks to legendary JEFF BERLIN, whose BASS MASTERY sight-reading practice packages I often use to maintain competency at sight-reading standard notation. (Even though I've been reading music for 52 years, it is still important to "practice".)

My bass in this video is a customized* Fender PrecisionClassic 50's Series in Sunburst with a
gold anodized pickguard and solid maple neck, Made in Mexico.
*My expert guitar luthier replaced the standard capacitor with a genuine vintage Zenith capacitor manufactured between 1955 and 1959, producing this wonderful full tone.
My strings are flatwound Galli Jazz Flats medium gauge Long scale manufactured in Italy.
Bass Guitar volume 9, Bass Tone 5.
Marshall B25 MK II amp settings: Bass 5 o'clock, Mid 3/4 o'clock, Treble 3 o'clock.
My guitar pick is a vintage grey HERCO Heavy gauge nylon pick that I purchased in 1972.
