Which can be a good thing! I love playing with drummers who can push and pull in ways that make sense and feel good.
Sounds good. Don't overthink it.
My one piece of advice for any guitarist who wants to sound like a bass player: Pay attention to note length. Where you place rests between notes is often overlooked, but goes a long way toward defining the feel of the rhythm section. For instance, in the turnaround section into to Vs2, the high-note of the Bb/C octaves you're playing benefit from the 8th note rest before the subsequent note (which you do sometimes, and sometimes not.)
