Notes
Studio recording, 1990 (Heaven or Las Vegas sessions). No direct evidence for exact amp, but JC-120 and similar clean solid-state amps are repeatedly cited for Cocteau Twins' clean, chorus-heavy tones. Bass likely DI'd with some amp blend.

Difficulty
The bass line is straightforward, with slow, sustained notes and minimal rhythmic complexity. The main challenge is maintaining a smooth, even tone and blending with the lush, modulated soundscape.
