None of them
------------------------------------- Flaming Lips Pompeii Am Gotterdammerung - Bass tab tabbed by Adam D (adam (dot) dullenty (at) google's famous email service (dot) com) ------------------------------------- Alright guys, I'm a guitar and synth player mostly but do enjoy a good bass riff every now and again. This is one of my favourite songs of all time and I've been dying to find a bass tab for ages now. Finally gave up waiting, borrowed a friend's bass and tried to figure it out myself. It's a tricky one to figure out, it seems that there's been some delay effect used causing some of the notes to merge together or there's been some overdubbing going on in the studio - either way it is tricky in places to tell what is happening. Here's my attempt, please bear in mind if it's buggy that I'm not a native bass player, but feel free to suggest corrections :) ------------------------------------- (intro) G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|5--------------0|h5-------------5|/12-------------|--10h12-0-------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----7-----------| A|1---------------|12h13/1--------1|-8--------------|-10---8-----10-7| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|12-12-/0-0------|/12-12-/0-0-----|/12-------------|12--------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| (notes from now on are mostly repeatedly plucked til the next note -
