Waiting for the End (bass) - tabbed by Astat Bass 1 - D A D G (Synth bass) Bass 2 - D A D G (Slightly overdriven) *Note* The bass on this track (excluding the synth bass parts) is a Fender Precision Bass. The actual bass part in this song is kind of sparse, it plays a prominent role in the second verse/chorus and outro, but is absent during the first part of the song, as well as the bridge and most of the guitar solo. Phoenix doubles some of the low-end synth parts on bass live, so I've transcribed them the way they appear on the album version as Bass 1, with Bass 2 being the "real" bass part. I've used some blank staves during the synth bass parts, since they're so spread out. Strangely enough, when the "real" bass part first comes in, Phoenix plays all the E notes at the 2nd fret on the D string, but later in the song he plays them all at the 7th fret on the A string. Other than that, watch out for the variations in the picking pattern, and that's about it. Very simple song.
