Bass tabs
Band: Metallica Song: The End of the Line Album: Death Magnetic (2008) Bassist: Robert Trujillo Tuning: Standard Note: I made this tab based on the bass master track of the song, so you can be completely sure that this tab is 100% correct. You can hear the bass master track here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-x-dfAETfM The time marked in the tab is based on the song included on Death Magnetic, not on the master track.
