         Tuning for this song isn't standard
B F♯ B E
==——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————==
So the song starts of with that melody that can't be played in this tuning、 but after awhile the bass finally comes in
like this

E |————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————|
B |————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————|
F♯ |————————————————————————————————————————0(h1)h2———————|
B |2——2—2——2——2—2——/5——5—5——5——5—5——————————————————————|
keep playing that until the drums start。

then、 when the actual vocals come in just play this
E |———————————————————————————————————————|
B |——————————————————————0—2—————————————|
F♯ |——————————0〜———01————————0〜——————|
B |5〜——/6——————————————————————————————|

i now understand that that may not sound right、
if you are sensitive to this try this one
E |——————————————————————————————|
B |——————————————————————————————|
F♯ |——————————————————————————————|
B |5〜——/7〜——9—/12——5——————|

this is an electronic song (falls in between trance and rave、 maybe house??)
so it many melodies playing on top of this simple bass。 so don't feel discouraged to fiddle around with it。

i hope it helped you all、 and if you find any mistakes be sure to point them out!!

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

  • Strings and Frets:

    Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:

    • The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
    • The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).

    Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------------------|
    A|---3---------------|
    E|-------------------|

    This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

  • Hammer-On (h):

    Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------5h7---------|
  • Pull-Off (p):

    Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------7p5---------|
  • Slide (/ or \):

    Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------5/7---------|

3. Advanced Techniques

  • Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
  • Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
  • Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

  • Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
  • Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
