This should really be played with a pick.  I honestly do not care if "real bassists don't use them."  Do it  
anyway or this tab is likely to sound muddy. 
For all those eighth-note riffs in this song, I didn't really bother to give you the rhythm much.  Listen to  
the song for variations and note progression.
