Martyr (ver. 2) bass

Martyr (ver. 2)

Here's some old school  action for you speed pickin' SOB's

 from the Soul Of A New Machine album, 1992

Either use a 5-string bass in standard tuning or tune your 4-srting down 2 and 1/2 steps

I suggest using a pick since the speed stuff is really fast and my fingers 
hurt after playing it with my finger
