I know somewhat how to play it. It's hard to really tell since it's not really upfront. But I think having your own take on a line like that is cool too.

Off topic, but what is that girl wearing at 29 seconds? It looks to be the world's smallest bra.

actually, during the first two measures of the verse, when i wrote down the run over the A chord, i think he actually just plays A all the way through that, no walk along or variation, but the way i wrote it fits. keep in mind i figured this out with an acoustic guitar and without being able to EQ it too well. enjoy, any critisism is appreciated.

I know it's a big ask, but maybe you already have it ?

You wouldn't happen to have a sound file of you playing the bass line (without the guitars) ?

I’ll just play it on my laptop.

Thanks again,

I finally had a chance to listen to this on my stereo (aot crappy pc speakers) with bass pumped up, and Im pretty sure the tab's not entirly right.
on the intro, he plays riff-notes along with theguitar, though he doesn't actually follow him.
On the Am he goes up to the 5th for sure, through a flat 5th, on the F the tab's right but on the E he goes up, not down, as with the other chords, I think it's the same run over all chords except the turnouround, on the run back he uses a major 3th (c#) just like the intro has.
the bridge part sounds to me he uses the same kinda runds, but with an A major 3th which makes sense, and he throws in 16ths in the end.

hard to make out though. are we listening to the same version at all? Lively ones as appeared on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack?

yeah, we are listening to the same version. on top of the fact that i cannot EQ my stereo well, also keep in mind i was tabbing all this out on a acoustic guitar, so getting the pitches right wasnt my strong point. i know on the bridge i messed up when i was writing the tab, because i had just done it from memory.

it's also hard, because the rhythm guitar has a lot of low-end, so it's easy to get it mixed up with the bass, that

Thanks for your thoughts guys. It's great being able to run something past some wiser minds. I started trying to learn it last weekend. I’ll have another go at it this weekend.

Most of my problems probably originate from the fact I’m trying to listen to this on my laptop, which is not going to help much bass wise at all.

And yes, I’m talking about the Lively Ones, Pulp Fiction soundtrack version.

Thanks,

PG

OK guys. Had a chance to sit down with a beer and the bass yesterday and try to get my head around this.
Just a couple more questions…………………………………….

WR
E he goes up, not down, as with the other chords

But he’s still playing E G# B and C ?

WR
I think it's the same run over all chords except the turnaround, on the run back he uses a major 3th (c#) just like the intro has

2 things – which bit is the ‘turnaround’ ? when’s he playing the major 3th (c#), what chord is the guitarist playing then ?

WR
the bridge part sounds to me he uses the same kinda runds, but with an A major 3th which makes sense, and he throws in 16ths in the end.

He’s playing the A major 3th, while the guitarist is playing the A 7 chord in the bridge ? (‘cos A7 is a major chord)

He’s playing a straight 4 crotchets a bar most of the time ? Like, for example, in the bass line for “Comanche” (well, most of the time in “Comanche” !)

(I actually have the complete guitar tablature for this. Rhythm and lead. If it’s not highly illegal in your country I’m more than happy to scan it and pots it. I think if it’s for scholarship, that's OK ?)

Thanks again !

Muchos gracias !

I wear Hawaiian shirts a lot (and I’m sure I ain’t the only person in this chat room doing that !) and when I was in New Zealand, I worked with a Samoan guy (a country with a very big thing for Hawaiian shirts, albeit extra large). It was his nickname for me.

You think doing the quotes are bad, try trying to post a photo !

After all this help, guys, I so much promise to learn to play this song………………………….
(well, the bass line. I can already play the guitar line.)

Thanks again,

PG
