Cygnus by Cult Of Luna

Bass tabs

Tuning: Standard (E A D G)

This tab is for 5 string bass in standard E. However, there's only a few places where you really need that 5th
string, so most of the tab will be shown as 4string and feel free to play it on 4string (just transpose it one
octave up or something).


Synth Intro:
G|---------|
D|-(6)-(6)-|
A|---------|
E|4---4----|


Verse 1:

Interlude:
Just do the 8th notes of each single note below, you will hear when to change to the next one.
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------4---6-----------------------------------|
A|4---6---7---------6---4--6---2---4-----------------|
E|------------------------------------4-----6---7----|

Chorus:
Just like the previous one. Make sure to accent on E string and mute it when playing others.
Let the last note ring

Bridge at 5:40:
Repeats several times
G|-----------------------------|
D|--------------------4--------|
A|--4h6!-6--4h(6)/7-7---4h6!-6-|
E|-----------------------------|

G|--------------------------|
D|--------------------4-----|
A|--4h6!-6--4h(6)/7-7-------|
E|----------------------4---|


Pre-buildup at 6:43 has no real bass, then the bridge resumes:

G|-----------------------------|
D|--------------------4--------|
A|--4h6!-6--4h(6)/7-7---4h6!-6-|
E|-----------------------------|

G|--------------------------|
D|--------------------4-----|
A|--4h6!-6--4h(6)/7-7-------|
E|----------------------4---|

Pre-buildup at 8:16 has no real bass, too, I think it's all synths and guitar:

Buildup at 8:48:
Similar to the Verse 1, but more 16th notes and dynamic.
Most of those notes are 16th. Repeat several times

G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|-4h6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4h6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|7--7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---(4)p3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|

G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|-4h6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4h6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-6h7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---6--6/7-6-2/|

pre-outro at 9:51:
Somewhat similar to the chorus

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------7-7-6-6-6-|
E|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------7-7-6-6-6-|
E|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4------------|

Outro:
The only place where you actually needed that fifth string

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------7-7-6-6-6----------------------------7-7-6-6-6-|
E|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------|

G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------|
B|--------------------------4-4-4----------------------------2-2-4-4-4--|

It just keeps repeating until the end with the ringing 4th fret on E string (as if the new bar started).
At 11:39 you can turn those 8th into 16th for the feeling, if you want to.
At 13:43 play in 8th, but with increased accent on all notes.
