I Need A Small/Big Favor

I'm new to the bass and always have been, so the only thing I know how to do is read and play tabs. The only problem is, my favorite riff is by a rather unknown band and there are 0, literally zero bass tabs online for any of their songs. So I figured someone might be nice enough to make tabs for this little rift? Sounds so unimportant, but if I could play it, I could die a happy man.

Someone be my God? I can't tell you how appreciative I'd be.


Thanks.

Edit - And ignore the video's picture, it's just a random thing I used in order to import it to YouTube as a video file.
 
Here it is. For better results, you need a 5-string bass, a pick and fresh roundwound strings.

Hope this helps.
 
Damn, man! Thanks so much. The only thing I need to know is how the best way to play it on a 4-string is. All I have is a 4-string and I know for a fact that it was played on a 4-string in the song (the bassist says he only started experimenting with 5-strings in 2002, and the bass rift is from 1996). Is there any way to convert the 5-string tabs to 4 string tabs? If not, then it's cool. I'll try experimenting with it. Thanks so much though. I'll try messing with it when I get home. Thanks!
