Well, here it is. The first full album bass tab of M2M on this website,
no offense. After tabbing out the album for guitar, I figured why not do
the same for bass, especially considering no one had posted some of the
songs on the album anyway. Well, here it is, after two days spent hard at
work on this tab. It's not a really hard album to play on bass, but it's
fun, so enjoy.
Every song is in Drop D, except Shadow of the Day for convenience reasons.
The only parts I had to reference another person's tab on was in Bleed it
Out and No More Sorrow. I referenced the bass tab on this site by slimk
to find a note that was frustrating me in Bleed It Out, and also I used
Michel Franceschino's tab on this site to find out how to play the No
More Sorrow bridge. Thanks to both of them, because without looking at
their tabs this album tab would have taken much longer and would've been
really hard to get.
Pay attention to multipliers in the tabs; this tells you how many times
to play a certain note or bar. Also, some songs' bass lines don't kick
in until the song is already going, so be sure to make a note of which
section the tab is for.
As with all my tabs, leave a comment if you have anything to say or find
any mistakes, I will fix this as soon as I find out about them. Also, if
you find a mistake and leave a comment about it, wait a few days to rate
my tab so I can have time to fix and resubmit my tab, this allows for
you to help make this tab as good as possible and keep the rating as
accurate as possible. Thank you.
Update 3/18/08: Thanks to Kickiniteasy I now know the bridge in No More Sorrow is
5 times. I was too lazy to figure it out on my own.

Wow. Finally done, have fun playing this album. It's a doozy. :)
Again, leave comments and check back for corrected mistakes. I will
try to make updates as obvious as necessary so you can find them.
