Bloc Party – Banquet (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : imessyou Contrary to popular belief, there is no real bass line in the intro and first verse, only fills and flicky bits. This first part is used in conjunction with some sort of effect that makes a "hum" sound.
