Robbie Williams – Monsoon (Bass Tab)

Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

Artist: Robbie Williams Song: Monsoon Album: Escapology (2002) Bassist: Phil Spalding You may not agree with some of the note positions I chose, but they were selected purely for sonic reasons. The same note played on a thicker string sounds beefier, and after listening to the separate bass track, I tried to mimic the line as closely as possible. To get the best bass tone, turn the treble down and bring the bass and low mids up a bit. Intro:
