In the End (bass) - tabbed by Astat Tuning: B E A D G (Blended clean DI and overdriven amp tone) *Note* The bass on this track is an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 5, in "parallel" mode. This is a fairly rare case of the guitar and bass in a Linkin Park song being in different tunings. The guitars are in the usual Drop D, half step down tuning on this song, but the bass is actually on a 5-string in standard tuning. The bass really carries this song, it dominates the verses where the guitar plays clean harmonics, and anchors the choruses as well, while the guitar plays long sustained chords. A couple things to watch out for, there are a few variations towards the end of each verse that are easy to miss. The "x/" notation at the end of the first and third lines in the choruses is a strum executed while sliding up from the 2nd to the 9th fret, so there isn't a defined "note" to it. In the second verse, the notes are all sustained, instead of being cut off like they are in the first verse (watch out for the fill at the end of the second line in the second verse too, it only comes up once). There are also a few ghost notes found in this song, there's one at the end of the second chorus, and a few in the second part of the bridge. Play those as you see fit, as they're very understated and "accidental-sounding" compared to the rest of the song. Lastly, there are a couple spots where some of the sustained notes have vibrato on them ("v~" symbols), this doesn't happen too often when it comes to Linkin Park bass parts, so watch out for them.
