Here's a updated version of Pain by Of Mice & Men. I uploaded pretty much the same tab but while not being
logged in, so this is pretty much the same tab as the other one that's similar to it,
but it has lyrics at the top to help you follow the tabs and slightly improved tabs.
This is still my first tab, so let me know how you like it!
BTW, if anyone is looking for his tone, throw on your favorite distortion pedal (preferably Sansamp Bass
Driver), set bass at 12 o'clock, mids at about 9 o'clock, treble at 3 o'clock, presence at 11-1 o'clock,
and drive at 6-10 o'clock, depending on how distorted you want your tone. The more distortion, the more it
blends with the guitars, but the less it cuts through.
Run through your favorite amp with settings at 12 o'clock and with only a little
gain, then run through your favorite cab. (If your amp is a combo, you'll get the same effect). This is the
staple of metal bass tones lol. Cheers :D
The tab I accidently uploaded while not logged in (this one is still better though) -

If you listen carefully, the bass plays these notes during the bridge. The 5 and the 0 you let ring. The
latter is the octave of the main version of the riff. You'll hear Aaron play it at around 2:06.

*OPTIONAL* It's more dramatic of a breakdown in the guitars only build up to it and
everything else kicks in after the Pre-Breakdown, but it's up to you.
