Band: Muse Song: The 2nd Law: Isolated System Album: The 2nd Law (2012) Bassist: Chris Wolstenholme This song sounds like there are two bass lines in first half. My transcription represents main rhythmic part. Second part sounds more like additional and consists of eight-notes with fade outs. Note: There are some dotted notes and some staccatos. Examples: (6.) <--- This means dotted note. . (6) <--- This means staccato. Time signature 4/4 Tempo - 132 [0:58]
