Now the 4 on the E STRING you just let vibrate 'til you get the cue in for 4 on the D STRING and 2 mutes before that and 2 bass hits on 0 and x to follow the drums, these are split up into three parts.

This is my first tab sheet, I plan on maybe uploading some of my other LP bass tab findings if this goes well and if I can will probably make an updated one for this.
