The ‘secret’ of this bassline is within playing the eight note staccato (short) on the second count en not legato (long). This already starts at the beginning of the song. Look for instance at bars 1 - 7. I find it also very ‘musically’ to have a rest just before the next bar. In bars 1 -7 David plays a rest on the eight note in the fourth count. This gives a ‘breathing pause’ before the next bar starts. It’s a matter of taste if/when you use this ‘breathing pause’.

It’s just a lovely song to play the bassline. While Carlos plays a fantastic melody in the chorus the bass is very supportive and not very difficult. In the Verse the bass plays a strong melodic lick (bar 17 en bar 19). In the second half when the tempo changes the bass remains supportive but also plays a melodic line to support Carlos when he goes nuts. To give Carlos all the space he needs the bassline remains almost the same in this part of the song. David Brown knows what he’s doiing 😊.
I play this song on a Fender Jazzbass with flatwound strings.
