James Jamerson's bass line on 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' with Marvin Gaye

Jamerson's line on 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' is one of my all time favourite bass grooves. Here it is with just a simple drum machine accompaniment so it can be heard in all it's glory - 'isolated bass track' style.
I'm also taking the opportunity to show off my home-modded 80's Fender Precision bass with Picato Flatwound strings and a Seymour Duncan 'Quarter-Pound' pickup. Lovely.

Good job, this cover really help me learn part of the song, but could you send me tabs i learned 90% of the song off tabs i found on the internet; and there missing a part, which really frustrates me.The tabs you're using, seem to be exactly the same as mine except i'm missing a part, i would really appreciate it if you could help me out.
