Studio recording, 1996 (Sublime self-titled album); evidence suggests use of dead nickel roundwounds, tone knob rolled off, and possible synth bass layering.

The line is rhythmically simple and relies on a steady, muted fingerstyle groove typical of reggae. The main challenge is maintaining consistent dynamics and tone with a soft attack.
