I play this song a lot. If it's the part I think you're talking about, I believe that George is doubling Louis' bass lick on part of it with the lower range on his guitar. Not two basses, just a bass and a guitar doing similar licks. First Louis is doing chromatic octave pops from G on the E string to C on the A string. Then comes the part that sometimes Louis plays on bass and sometimes George plays on guitar. On bass it starts out on Eb on the A string and arpeggiates ( is that a word?) Eb - Db -Ab - Bb Eb - F - Eb - C. Those last eight notes are played on the D & G strings. Rinse. Repeat. There's a ghost thump somewhere in there, at least that's the way I do it. Typical lifts and and hammer-ons when playing adjacent pairs of notes. I don't know a better way to describe what's going on there short of tabbing it out.

Peace,

James
