[Verse 1 - 00:22-00-42] This muted C would be played an octave lower on the low B string on a 5-string bass, but on a 4-string it should be played on the E string and closer to the neck for a thicker tone. In contrast, the unmuted C and C# that are played an octave higher should be played on the D string for more brightness.
