Nice bass line that basically follow the guitars for the verse (although omitting certain things here and there for effect) and then goes into a pretty cool pedalpoint-like ostinato in the chorus. One of Gene's standard fills at the 12th position show up here again (compare the bass' entry on Almost human). Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 F|---------------------------------------------------------| C|---------------------------------------------------------| G|--5--5-------------0-3p0---------------------------------| D|--------3------0h3-------3-------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2a F|---------------------------------------------------------| C|---------------------------------------------------------| G|--0--0----------------5--5------------0-3p0--------------| D|----------------------------------0h3-------3------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------| C|------------5-7-7-7-5h7~---------------------------------| G|--0--0--------------------5--5-------------0-3p0---------| D|--------------------------------3------0h3-------3-------| Rhythm Fig. 2b F|---------------------------------------------------------| C|---------------------------------------------------------| G|--0--0----------------5--5-------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------| C|------------5-7-7-7-5h7~---------------------------------| G|--0--0--------------------5--5-------------0-3p0---------| D|--------------------------------3------0h3-------3-------| Rhythm Fig. 3 F|---------------------------------------------------------| C|---------------------------------------------------------| G|--0--0----------------5--5-------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| < -
