Stanron's notations are very useful. I think I would go for a walking bass to a slow count of three, hitting all the on-beats, as a default, then use some of the gapped or syncopated sequences for added lift. This would work, too: | 1 + a 2 + a 3 + a | B B I know Capuccino wasn't asking about guitar, but it's a tricky rhythm on that too: you can get a lot of drive by hitting each of the nine beats with alternate downstrokes and upstrokes (as for 6:8), except that the odd number of beats means that bars 1, 3, 5, 7, etc will start with an downstroke and finish on an up, and bars 2, 4, 6, 8 start with an upstroke and finish on a down. You'd also need to really stress the three on-beats and avoid excessive clatter on the others.
