can someone help me come up with a bass groove for a jam on an existing song?

Hi,
first of all, heres the song our band covers:

Kora - Burning (btw, you guys should really get youtube tags)

the tab is basically
G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|-3-2-0--0----3-2-0-----| with G/A/C/B/A every now and then
E|---------------------0--|


now, near the end, we break it down and guitars stop and drummer busts out a ragga beat and i'll cut down the amount of notes i play. generally i'll play this:

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3-2-0-----3-2-0--12-----3-2-0-----3-2-0-------3-2-0-----3-2-0--12-----3-2-0--0-0--15-14--14-14-12--|
E|---------------------------------------------0-----------------------------------------------------------|

i'll play that twice and then drums start going heavier into a ragga/breakbeat and this is where i'll go into a fast bass groove and we melt down into a D+B storm for a little bit before cutting back into the main riff, reggae style again.

basically, i havent had much time to make up a groove beyond coming up with somehting on the night but i want something really slick and catchy to counterbalance the sweet ragga beat our drummer does. just hoping you guys can listen to the track and come up with some ideas. if you need more info i'll fill ya in.
