Magnum Force Theme from the film Magnum Force, also used as Sniper's theme in Team Fortress 2.
No one's uploaded bass tabs for this, so i thought i would try and have a crack at it as my first tab.
[Intro]
The open E here is optional.
Play it at the first snare hit in the drum intro if you wanna spice it up a little.
Lots of room for improvisation if you want to go there.
Listen to the original recording to get the timing right for the rest of the song.

[Verse 1]
Make sure to land those dead notes, since they really make the bassline bounce.

[Chorus 1]
Don't hammer-on the 3rd fret here, just fret the note normally, else it sounds too percussive and cuts trough
the mix in an unpleasant way, imo.

[Trumped Solo]
Be mindful of the hammer-on here.

[Outro]
The hammer-on is kinda tricky to get without it being too percussive or too mellow.
Just keep going at it and you'll know when you've hit the perfect force for it.

Listen carefully for the timing on the 3rd fret, you can hear that the original recording hits the 3rd or 4th
note a little harder than the rest.
