"Exclusively for Me"

When I listened to Ennismore yester-day, the first section of the bass part in "Exclusively for Me" sounded like it would be pretty easy to figure out.  I even identified the correct intervals (a fifth and a fourth) before figuring out the specific notes.  The first section is mostly just falling fifths between E and A, which is the same interval that starts "She's Not There."

This afternoon I figured out the middle section (I'm pretty sure it's just one note, but I don't have the exact rhythm yet) and the last half.  It's doubled by either 'cello or upright bass (I'm not sure which), and that same part - on 'cello or upright bass alone - precedes the electric bass's coming back in.  I played that string part on my keyboard with a fake string setting because I don't have either of those instruments.
