This tune has a nice groove that's fun to solo over.  It's off Steely Dan's
Katy Lied album, and can also be heard on the New York Rock and Soul Review.
The bass licks aren't verbatim, just an idea of what you can do.

/ = slide up
\ = slide down
h = hammer on
p = pulloff

The 3 note pulloff is simply if you use your index finger to bar the DGB
strings at the 5th and 7th frets.  Then your middle, ring and index fingers
are free to do the pulloff.
