(It's hard to tell here, but I think the bass has a background part amongst the singing.  
 If that's the case, I'm having too much trouble distinguishing between the bass in the voices
 and the electric bass. If you can figure it out, please tell me, and I'll add it.  Otherwise,
 the song still sounds good without electric bass.)
