Post Swanky Street (Bass, Work In Progress.)
I've been dying to play this song. It sounds really complex, but once you figure out the rythym and general pattern of the notes, it's pretty easy to figure out.

So anyway, this is what I have so far. Any suggestions?

Completley tabbed by ear, so yeah, It's obviously not going to be 100% accurate.

[code]


Intro
(0:00)

G-----------
D----6------
A------7----
E--------5--

x4:
once at 0:00
Once at 0:08
once at 0:28
once at 0:45

The last one is shortly followed by-

G-----------------
D-----------------
A-12-11/7---7-9/14
E---------9-------

At about 0:46.

After that, you can either play the following notes 8 times each, or play them once, it sounds fine either way, but I think they're only singles on the recording.The bassline is so buried under the drums that It's hard to tell.

(0:49)

Pre-Chorus

G--------
D--------
A-5-4-2-0
E--------

Play that again, but instead of playing the last two notes do this: instead:


G-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------22222222--555-5-5-5-555-555-6-7--------------/77777
E-22222222---------------------------------000000000000---------


Chorus:

(1:13)

G-----------------------------------------------------------
D-----5/777---7-----5/777---7-----/777--77---777---7
A-----------------------------555-----5---55-----5-------
E-555-------5---444-------4------------------------------

Play four times, on the last time playing:

G------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-----5/777---7-----5/777---7-----/777--------------6-7---------6--
A-----------------------------555------5-6-7-----77--------------7----
E-555-------5---444-------4------------------0-0--------55555555--5

Solo:

(1:48)

G--------------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------/5------------------
A-------3--4-55--5---5------------------------3-4-5-5-5----5
E-33--5------------5---55--5-0-3-55-5-5-33--------------5--

To me, the next part sounds kinda like this. Like I said, it's buried under everything, so it's kinda hard to tell.

G----------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------
E-5-5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5

Those 3-5's should be hammered, I think. Listen to the recording for the rythym.

It looks good. Sounds iffy at some parts (solo), but I can't blame you for trying to tab the bassline after the solo. Are you listening to a live performance?

No, actually the recording. However, I had to listen to it with my headphones so I wouldn't wake anyone up, considering I tabbed this at about 11:00 at night. I'll probably do some edits today when I can crank up the subwoofer and tell what the hell is going on at some parts.

However, I will defenitly take a look at the solo. I think I messed up there a bit too.

I'll try and help, but you might get to it before I do.

Very good! I believe the solo will be really hard to be tabbed. And I made an alteration after the Intro, in 0:46

[code]D-6/7-6-----------7----
A--------7\-4-5-7------
E----------------------[/code]

See if you agree.
