    Can somebody tell me what tuning I need to put my bass in for this song?

    Pretty much as the title says. I can't find the tuning for this song on any other website. If anyone's a bass player and is good at learning a song by ear, can you please tell me what the tuning is?

    The song's in B, so my guess is you need a 5-string with a low B to cover the low stuff.

    Ubuntu doesn't endorse the drinking of hot bleach in Hades
    .. but yes, bottom string would be B.

    Hmm, I only have a four string. However I tried playing the song in Drop C and I sounds pretty similar. I'll just have to make do with that for now.

    You could always buy yourself a set of 5-string strings and tune your bass B-E-A-D; are you really going to use the G on this kind of music?

    Is a good point...
    ...but you'll need to modify the nut to accept the thicker strings.
