Aftermath Bass

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             Aftermath - Muse
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Andrew P
 
Tuning: Standard
 
A couple of things to start with - At some points the bass is incredibly quiet compared to the rest of the 
track
so feel free to correct me if you hear something different.
 
Also some of the rhythms are a bit weird so the best way to get it right is just to listen to the song.

Not gonna lie, the last part of this song is pretty much impossible to determine exactly, however
what I can do is give a basic structure and then leave you to interpret the song yourself (not a perfect
solution but it's the best I could do)

If somebody can give me and exact tab of the final section I would be happy to use it.
