artist - rilo kiley
song - does he love you?
very well-written bassline that gets steadily more complex as the song builds.
pay attention to staccato markings, etc. rhythm is notated but if confused listen to the song.
(no bass in verse 1 or first chorus)

[Outro] (4:02)
(this part is where all the instruments in the song apart from the string
section start fading out, so the bass gets harder and harder to hear.
that means the later parts of this section might not be 100% accurate)

(bass inaudible from this point on but i think it just loops from the start of these 32 bars again)
