Pink Floyd
One of These Days
From 'Meddle' (1971)

There are two different basses on this song.  One on each stereo channel.  The
first bass heard is the one with new strings on the right channel.  The delay 
is set at 296 milliseconds and it has 7 echoes after the initial attack.  The 
second bass with dead strings comes in a bit later in the left channel.  

You may have to play around a bit first to get the timing, but after that, there 

isn't much left to the song.

-Basically that is the whole song.  Just repeat the notes A & B over and over.
There are some slides on and off of the notes that you can hear when you listen
to the song.  There are also parts where one of the basses is silent that you 
can 
hear and pick out yourself from the song.  Just play around with these two 
notes 
and you have the whole song.

This song has probably the greatest bass part I've ever heard. I hope you 
listen to the whole thing.
