How To: Panic Attack Intro on Bass (4, 5, or 6 string tabs)

[KnighferDK]

Do you think, you can share the whole Panic Attack bass tab?

Everywhere i search, i always find different ones and they chooses a different tuning then A-E-A-C-G-C.

And i think you got the intro part just right. So i hope that you can share the rest of the tab. ^^

@KnighferDK I never played the whole song for the same reason, it's very confusing with the odd tunings and play styles and such. The right tuning is AEACGC, I'm pretty sure of that at least, but I attempted to play it at BEACGC and played through a good portion of the song only to realize/find out that it's in A, and at that point I just said "fuck it" and gave up. Best of luck to you figuring it out !

What's the full tuning on this tune? (On a 6) is the B tuned down to a Bb? and the D to a C?

[thatmetalbassist]

@AttitudeCastle the full tuning most believe is A-E-A-C-G-C going from lowest to highest. I generally stay at B-E-A-C-G-C though because my B string wouldn't sound too good at A

@AttitudeCastle I think the actual tuning on 6 string, from highest to lowest, is: Bb-F-C-G-D-A

[AttitudeCastle]

@saxman52 For panic attack? That would be very unusal! I'll have to try it out, plus that totally cancels out what the video here says, i thought it may be a A though.

[saxman52]

@AttitudeCastle Again, I think that's the tuning. I'm sure there's other tunings out there that people use, and will find more comfortable.

[AttitudeCastle]

@saxman52 Very true, Happy Holidays to you sir :)

And to you @thatmetalbassist :D

Oh, and by the way, this is easy with two fingers. Pluck G with the index, rake down to the C, and pluck the C again with the middle and repeat.

Very helpful, subbed

@cursedswordsman thanks for the sub! I did do two fingers, that exact technique actually
