Verona Bass

Band: Muse
Song: Undisclosed Desires
Album: Will Of The People (2022)
Bassist: Chris Wolstenholme
Tuning: Standard
 
 
My favorite track from the album. I took the timings from Spotify, and for the rhythm in the second part,
watched a video on YouTube from Rome Live (filmed by "Mark G" on 18-07-2023). It was the only video on YouTube
where Chris could be seen playing both parts, so it was crucial to get the right bass rhythm underneath that
heavy synth that plays straight 16th notes. Mark G - if you'll ever see this, know you're awesome!
 
 
~2:00 [Verse]
 
This part definitely has a staccato-note feel because of the synth, but I'm not
entirely sure about that, so play them like staccatos if you like that better.
