This is such a great song on bass but no one even attempted the bass solo part anywhere
I figured I'd give it a shot.
the break starts around the 4:20 mark of the song
bass comes in at 4:29

The rest of the song hangs on A with slight variations of the pieces above
The tempo of the song gets faster as the song goes on as well
It's not perfect but even with improv in the key of A does well for the song.
