01. Take A Bow

Probably for studio version You need 5 string bass with high C tuning but I

did it on four.

Intro: [Optional]

Here starts bass.

Verse: [1:40]

I don't know are these notes so hihg that I can't hear them or there are

just those 15's and 19's. Anyway I tabbed all variations You can use.

| Variation for 5 string bass:

|

| C|------------|------------|--17--17--17|--21--21--21|

=============================================================================

06. Invincible

=============================================================================

This tab is very similar to TJ1991's tab because I also retune only one

string to play this song, but my tab have some differences. Tune Your D

to C and check this out. If You don't want to play like this then skip this

tab and watch for it somewhere else. I heard that Chris plays it with FCFC

tuning but I don't know anything about it and actually I don't want to

because that means that I need to retune all 4 strings instead of one.

Intro:

C|--------|

Note: Following content You can play on A string if You want.

Verse 1:

C|----------------------------55555--55555--55555--55555--|

C|--------------77777--77777----------------99999--99999--|

07. Assassin

=============================================================================

Note: This is Grand Omega Bosses Edit version. Both versions have intro on

bass but it's a little bit tricky because Chris used for this song Fender

American Deluxe 5 string bass with guitar string tuned A. However I didn't

add that string because I don't really know which notes Chris play on that

string (maybe he didn't play them at all). First I thought that it's a D

string but read in Musewiki that this was A string.

Intro:

[0:15] Riff 1:

|

| x2

Optional: I wonder if Chris played it this way:

A|-----12---13----12----13-12--| | <--- guitar string

|

| x2

[0:30] Riff 2:

Verse:

A|101010-10\-|5555--5555--5-5-|5555--5555--5-3-|

A|101010-10\-|5555--5555--5-5-|5555--5555--5\--|

Chorus: (play twice)

Play riff 1 twice but second time don't play last bar

Play Riff 2 twice

Interlude: (if You don't want to play GOB Edit then skip this part)

b= bend

full full

full

Wait a little bit and play Riff 2 once:

Second verse same as first, play it once:

Play Chorus twice:

[3:10] Bar between chorus and Riff 1.

Play Riff 1 twice and end song with one short 0 on low D string.

Verse (starts on 0:35):

G|--------------|--------------| There aren't those

A|5--5--5-3-5---|------------3-| like in other tabs

A|1--1--1-0-1-3-|--------------|0--0--0-------|--------------3-5\|

Pre Chorus:
