Panic Station Bass

Band: Muse
Song: Panic Station
Album: The 2nd Law
Bassist: Christopher Wolstenholme
Tabbed by: Thomas Moreno
 
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, and I had to tab it right
away, it was too good of a song not to.
 
Note: This is my first official tab, and on top of that I've made this tab only a
few days after the newest album came out,
so there's bound to be mistakes. If there are any you find, or you think there is
a better way to play it,
please don't hesitate to email me at thomasmorenoholt@gmail.com
 
Have fun!

Chorus 1
 
I'm pretty sure he just finger picks the octaves, but slapping sounds
just as good and it's much more fun, in a personal view
