This song is in the key of B major and the Bass plays the root note (B), the second (C#) and third (D#).
The Bass line is built around one phrase consisting of the three notes mentioned above.
There are a few changes to look for, particularly around 1:40 and 2:34. The rhythm changes slightly but the
same notes are played throughout the entire song. It is a simple but addictive line, have fun with it.
To get the warm tone of the Bass, I like to turn down my mid and high range on the EQ. And adding a little to
the low range on the EQ. As well as plucking notes close the fretboard to help achieve a warmer tone.
