song Notes

This song is played on a 5 string bass, tuned down 1 whole step, but the only time any note is played on the B String is literally the very last note!

There is a 2nd bass part here with a very heavy distortion that’s doubling the core bass on the stabs. I’ve only marked this up on the outro because this is where there are 2 clearly defined bass parts, one distorted on the stabs and one playing an 8th note groove.

Tempo variance is pretty minimal so where things are either +/- 1 or 2 bpm from part to part I’ve left it as the average (89bpm) for clarity and where it dips to 86 or 87 I’ve marked it.
