I'm not familiar with the song, so I checked it out on the iTunes Music Store...

In the 30 seconds of it I could hear, I didn't catch the bassist doing anything too spectacular. Very tasty and solid, though.

That said, groups like that usually seem to hire some pretty rippin' studio musicians, so whoever it was who was playing can probably throw down if they feel the need; even if they didn't get the chance on that song or even the album.

I mean, look at Bill Dickens: The man can scale from the top note to the bottom note of his 7 string Conklin basses in steady 64th notes, but he's done a TON of session work that you could probably never guess that from. (He also wrote the Cosby Show theme song and has ghost written more songs than I think even he can remember.)
