Sorry to drag this out any further, but nobody's suggested the obvious
here (to my thinking).
So Plug3 uses a particular bassline sample in 1995. Spooky hears it, and,
being something of a bass player, decides to learn how to play the
bassline (actually _play_, as in, on an electric bass). Then when it comes
time to record some tracks, he reaches back into his memory and thinks,
"hey, I'll use that bassline".
Coming from the melting pot of influences that Spooky does (reggae/dub
especially), it's not that unlikely. Dub music in particular has a history
of "borrowing" licks, lines, entire instrumental tracks even.
Then again, I could be completely wrong, but at least it's a decent
theory.
