Dude..you mentioned Pat Travers "old" band without mentioning Mars Cowling, one of the most kick ass rock bass players ever. Turn in your bass player card. It's been revoked.

My current band plays Travers version of "Boom Boom, Out Goes the Lights." Needless to say, I don't play Mars' bassline note-for-note.

I have made it fairly repetitive. I do a number of "pops" during the intro. I play the verses as a walking bass line. It works well in our version.
