This is just a good lesson in making your bass lines more interesting. Next step is harmonic influence (not a real term to my knowledge, just the idea that you can emphasize different degrees of the chord as the bassist and influence the sound of the chord)

Post-punk is a total bassist's genre. The drums are so 1,2,3,4 that the bassist's rhythm duties are nil, but the at the same time the guitar is usually so sparse that you have to pick up the lead. So we bassists get to have all the fun.
