Whenever I listen to end of of the solo in "All These things that I've done" by the Killers, I think EBTTRT.

They cite them as influences, but I doubt Adam consciously started playing the bass lines to "With a Hip." I find Adam's bass line a little more driven.
These parts your playing are based off tabs though, I mean, with the nature tablature, being open to interpretation. I tried looking at a few bass tab sites for both songs and I couldn't find any, well I gave up after 8 pages on google.
The extended E is enough to make it different. I'm not really convinced other than a subtle few notes. Your own tab shows the opening note is different, one starts at open E, the other at a higher E. How is that the same note?
Then there's like 2 notes in the same sequence, the 8th fret on the E string and the 10th fret at the E string.
I listened to both the actual songs, back and forth, only 30 seconds of "With a Hip," but I didn't hear it being the same bass line.
I'm not gonna argue this any further, if I find sheet music to prove it, I'll believe it.
I'm not as convinced by tabs as I am by published sheet music. No offense.
Considering every song gets published by some record company, if the basslines were the same, or similar enough, Echo and the Bunnymen's bassist could've sued, or issued cease and desist from having that song on Unforgettable Fire. Either they didn't care to persue that, or the basslines were different enough to not be plagarism. "Send in the Clouds" snippet had to be removed from Under a Blood Red Sky at the time. So Echo had the influence at the time, to do something if they felt they were being ripped off. U2 were still and up and coming band at the time.

Actually, now that you mention The Killers, the solo in When You Were Young sounds way too close to the solo in Miracle Drug. Like, way too close.
