People on the High Line - New Order

This song has a killer bass track played by Tom Chapman. I am a huge Peter Hook fan and didn't think I would like anything done by New Order without him. But, the whole album Music Complete is pretty good.

I have looked for tabs but haven't found any. Has anyone tabbed this one out?

It's a nice disco song with repetitive but "infectiously" attractive bass-line played with the pick and with a lot of ghost/muted notes.
There are numerous variations of that bass riff, but here are four bars (to the best of my knowledge ONLY! :confused: o_O) of that bass-line starting at 0:17 from your video.
In Bar 1, I've highlighted the muted notes played as open A, plus there is a short slide from the last D note.
In Bar 2, that muted/ghost note I'd play as G on the E string.

Here is a sound clip of those 4 bars just slower at 100BPM.
