Survivalism bass

Survivalism

Nine Inch Nails - Survivalism
Album: Year Zero


After i found the guitar tab, i realized there wasn't a bass tab so i thought i would 
it a try.
There are alot of things going on in this song that might confuse some people for the bassline.
Well this is my first tab and i tried my best so here it is.

Please Rate. thanks!

The H is a hammer on...

Outro: (Beggining Immediately after Chorus)

If you listen closely, the bass plays the single "A note riff" 8 times until about
halfway through the guitar riff, then switches it up, adding the G and C
There are actually two ending riffs for the bass

g|--------------------------------|
d|--------------------------------|
a|--------------------------------|
E|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5--| X 8

g|--------------------------------|
d|--------------------------------|
a|-------------3-----------------3|
E|-3-5-5-5-5-5-----3-5-5-5-5-5-5--| X 8
     H               H

g|--------------------------------|
d|--------------------------------|
a|--------------------------------|
E|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5--| X 8

g|--------------------------------|
d|--------------------------------|
a|-------------3-----------------3|
E|-3-5-5-5-5-5-----3-5-5-5-5-5-5--| X 8
     H               H
g|--------------------------------|
d|--------------------------------|
a|--------------------------------|
E|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5--| X 2

And that is Survivalism. Can't wait for April 17th to roll around, if you know what i mean.

In the 2nd verse, i dont know if you want to add the "C" but i think it sounds cool, a 
more active.
Plus there are alot of synth lines that may be playing that riff but it sounds good on bass.
