I've seen quite a few people playing this incorrectly on a four string, missing a bunch of important notes
that really give the bass line its funky feel. I took the following 5-string arrangement from the excellent
guitarpro file by Runix (hosted here https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/daft_punk/voyager_guitar_pro_879695)
5 String Bass tab
G|------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------5--------------------------|---------------------------------------|
A|-----7-----7-----------5--7--7------------|-----4---------------------------------|
E|-0---------------------------0-----0------|-------------3------5------------------|
B|--------------------------------------2---|-2---------------------3-----1-----1---|
G|---------17----5---------9----------|-----14--------16-------8-----------------|
D|-----5--------------5---------------|-----------12-----7-----------------------|
A|--------------------------------5---|------------------------------6-------7---|
E|-5----------------------------------|-5----------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
I then transposed the bassline up an octave so that it would be playable on a four string
4 String Bass tab

If you're trying to learn this bassline and are a novice bass player like me, I still suggest you download the
Guitar pro file because it's way easier to figure out the complex rhythms of this song when you can slow it
down. If you don't play the offbeat notes correctly it sounds like garbage!
Happy Thumpin!
