Passive (A Perfect Circle) - Bass Cover (With Tabs) by Leo Düzey

"Passive" from A Perfect Circle's "Emotive" album (2004).
I guess you've all watched the Passive collaboration video by now. If not, well.. watch it? There is a difference between this video and the collab. I recorded the collab in standard B-E-A-D-G, but the APC bassist obviously doesn't play on a 5-strings bass. So, since there is a low C in this song, I chose to drop the E string to a C, but leave the other strings in standard. Why? Making them lower is not gonna help out at all. You don't want to play the main riff in the 10-12 fret range, unless you do. Anyway, the basslines are very high compared to most A Perfect Circle songs. The second chorus is the only part where you go really low. Oh also, you see me doing some finger-picking at the end, but you can clearly hear the sound of a pick. I guess I forgot to play with a pick. Do whatever you like.

Some important information that nobody is going to read.

Dammmmn that was fuckin delightful! THANK youuuu👏🏼👏🏼
Question 🙋🏼‍♀️ I play a little bit of guitar, have a raspy Ibanez back home haha, but this video made me realize that when I’m playing “air guitar” I’m actually playing the bass! I naturally did all the hand movements you kinda did… Maybe bass was for me all along!? Cuz first I searched the guitar cover and I’m like noo that’s not how my fingers move intuitively, and they did with you!!! So THANK you so much and if you could answer some musical questions that’d be awesome hahaha

How i play it, but C is a D for me. Great Job !!!!

[wadechezem]

Excellent as always. How about Judith from APC?

[bladeMatster]

could that little hammer-on in the verses be a bend perhaps?
