### Before you play ########################################################################################
Clean bass throughout the song, accentuate your EQ on the high mids, and turn the lows down a bit.
This bassline is madness - it constantly changes. If you don't believe me, isolate the bass track from the
rest, and you'll see what I'm talking about. I strongly suggest you take a rhythm part that feels organic
and just stick with it. Believe me, it will be much easier than memorizing all this, plus it's almost
impossible to hear all those nuances in the mix while it's not separated.
