"Calm like a bomb! Ignite!"
For the solo, keep nailing away at the B note
and I think the other note he uses is its perfect 7th.
Just mess around with those 2 notes and you’ll get the idea.
Note: For the distortion, I think he uses an octave
split which divides the single notes into one
regular note and another an octave lower. That
or it could be just "Y.tim.K’s" cool ass bass shit.
