It's like the easiest bass line ever. I actually wish he opened it up a bit near the end, even a little variation would help liven things up just a hair more.
It's an easy bass line....sure.
But sometimes simple bass lines can be classic.
This one is a good simple bass line, and it drives the song.
It pretty much dominates -until mike comes in with his little "Twiddly Diddley" bit at the bridge.

I think they talked about stone trying to do too much on bass and it just wasn't working with matts drum beats so he tried something simple and they both said "thats it"

We're gonna have a talk about those Buckle Up lyrics
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

March of Crimes?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I recently wrote about island son Jonathan Evison’s fast rise in the Northwest literary world ... In the story, I mentioned in passing that one of his “jobs” was as singer/screamer of the pre-grunge band March of Crimes. The band is noted in several histories of the grunge genre as a launch pad for the likes of fellow islander Ben Shepherd, who went on to play bass for Soundgarden, and Stone Gossard, who remains a guitarist for Pearl Jam.
“I kicked Stoney out of the band,” Evison said with a tinge of pride when I interviewed him late last month.
March of Crimes’ songs were simple and fast. Gossard, according to Evison, was a fan of layered guitar-work and the complicated fret-board stylings popular with heavy metal bands. Basically, Gossard was too skilled for the March of Crimes, Evison said.
