Ok. . . first
i'll explain my opinion about playing the bass of this song.
i think he uses a 5-stringed bass guitar with BEADG (low to high)
 tuning.
since most of us don't have a 5-stringed bass guitar
i tabbed the bass with a 4-stringed bass guitar with drop-d tuning
DADG (low to high).
at the refrain part. .
there he plays the lowest note of the song, c-note at the 1st fret of
 the
B-string (if you have a 5-stringed bass guitar) at the 2nd bar of the
tablature.
 
Tama pala. .
Ung sa verse, meron syang natural harmonic sa 2.25 n fret!!
ang tunog nyan is 2 octaves higher than sa natural harmonic
sa 12 fret. same note lng sila.
 
palagay natin bass guitar ito.

Legend:
 
Before the guitar solo, i think he uses 2-handed technique to
 synchronize
the bass line and a simple bass melody.
The LEFT hand fingers just "tap/hammer-on from nowhere" the bass line &
the RIGHT hand fingers, mainly the index & middle, tap the simple
 melody.
Play first that open low D note and then immediately tap all the notes
after that open low D.
 
RIGHT index finger tap  = <fret>  e.g. <19>
RIGHT middle finger tap = {fret}  e.g. (19)
