The Gallery Bass

Band: Muse
Song: The Gallery
Album: Hullabaloo CD1
Bassist: Chris Wolstenholme
Tuning: Standard
 
 
The song seems to be played on a 5-string bass even though during the OoS & Hullabaloo era Chris used only
4-string basses as far as I know (maybe he used his OC-2 octaver to get that low sound?). Since my first tab
of this song was also made for 4-string bass, I will leave both versions here for you to choose.
 
 
There is no bass until 0:30. To simplify things, I'll divide the song into verses & choruses.
It's self-evident which is which.
