@TheGueroBassist He plays 2 octaves then an open E pull-off to E from G. So the song starts: 3rd fret A string 5th fret G string, moves to down to 2nd fret/4th fret on A and G string respectively, then he hits the open E, then hits G (the 3rd fret on E string) and pulls off to open E. That's the meat of the song.
@TheGueroBassist At 3:12 he slides down to 3rd fret on the E string, then hits 2nd fret on the E string then moves up and does a hammer-on from 5 to 7 on the E string and immediately hits 7th fret on the A string twice and then 5th fret on the A string. He repeats that part in the 5th position once then does a hammer-on from 5 to 7 on the A string, then 5th fret on the E string 3 times, 7th fret on E once and slides down to 3rd fret on the E string and then restarts chorus part.
@TheGueroBassist The chorus part is the same as how he starts the song but instead he plays it on the E string at frets 8 and 7 for the roots. At 3:39 he's playing this and does a little interlude where he holds the notes and plays 8th fret on E, 7th fret on E, open E, then he does a quick walk-up of 8th fret on E, 5th fret on A, 7th fret on A, 10th fret on A, back to the chorus part.
HOLD UP...REWIND.. at 4:30 things start to get REALLY strange. Firstly, the song ends and the keyboardist starts to tap dance with the wall. Then, the drummer pulls his glasses of his eyes and stares into the distance and talking to no one, states--"that was my favorite one"-- as if it were some deep meaning philosophical statement. Then the singer goes on to ask the keyboardist what sounds like "have you had fruit?" WTH IS HAPPENING??
if these guys are hipsters then they're making some good music. id rather be a hipster than a follower of the recent trends in mainstream music. these guys are totally paying homage to funky 70s music.
completely unoriginal hipsters. this band stole passion pit's musical style from the high pitched voice to the cutesy sound

Does anybody know where I can get the bass tabs to this song? I can probably figure it out from the video, but the tabs would be a great help.
