Tuning: Standard (E,A,D,G)

In the recording this is quite obviously on a double bass.
To get an authentic sound on electric bass you can hit the strings down
onto the fret board which gives the tapping effect. Other than that its
fairly straight forward. This may not be perfect but it will get you through
a performance no problem.
