Hi Richard and welcome,
Glad to see another bass player here.
I recently tabbed out the bass on Link Wray's "Rumble" - original
version (1958), someone on the FDP needed it, pretty simple, goes
like this:
D D E D D
G|-------------------||---------------0--|------------------||-
D|-------------------||*--2---3---4------|--2---4---0---0--*||-
A|-------------------||*-----------------|-----------------*||-
E|-------------------||------------------|------------------||-
A D D E
G|---2---3---4---5---|---2---1-----------|---------------0---|-
D|-------------------|-----------0---0---|---2---3---4-------|-
A|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-
E|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-
D D B7
G|-------------------|---4---3---2---1---|-------------------|-
D|---2---4---0---0---|-------------------|---4---3---2---1---|-
