Papercut (bass) - tabbed by Astat Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb (Blended clean DI and overdriven amp tone) *Note* The bass on this track is an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4. This is one of three tracks on Hybrid Theory that session bassist Ian Hornbeck played on (the others being A Place for My Head and Forgotten). I don't hear any real tone difference between this and the songs Brad played bass on, so I'd assume he played a Stingray through an SVT just like Brad did on the rest of the album. I really like the subtle differences in how the bass plays the chorus riff vs. how the guitars do, and the fill the bass plays at the end of the bridge is actually one of my favorite moments in the song. Outside of those two things, there are quite a few small variations in the bridge/outro (just as there are with the guitars), and watch out for how halfway through the second chorus, the bass slides down and plays the little pickup riff as if it's heading back into the verse, even though the chorus continues normally in the following line (I almost think this was a copy-paste oversight when they were comping the final bass track together, but it made it into the final mix regardless). Also at the end of the breakdown, rather than sliding the low Db note up an octave like you'd expect (and how Phoenix has always played that part live), the bass actually continues playing the open low Db string while adding a second note an octave higher on the 5th fret of the Ab string.
