I thought the riff was just a variation on the satisfaction riff that Bill was toying with.

I could swear I've read at least one interview where Keith admits Bill wrote the riff, altough I can't remeber where. Anyone?

I have no problem with Bill involved in this; but..
How does a bassist w r i t e a riff on a bass guitar?

With his fingers? A 'riff' is not defined to be on a guitar, or do you mean something else?

From Martin Elliott's Complete Recording Sessions 1962-2002 book:
"The Jumping Jack Flash foundations were laid by Bill Wyman during the Surrey sessions as he 'mucked around' with a chord sequence on the piano.
Brian Jones and Charlie Watts and Brian Jones improvised on it until Keith Richards and Mick Jagger entered the studio.
The duo knew instantaneously that the sound had great possibilities".
