Song: "Lasso" Artist: Phoenix Album: Wolfgang Amadeus Bassist: Deck d'Arcy Tabber: Ravagence (luke_volk@hotmail.com) Tuning: EADG This is a pretty sweet song for bass. Many [albeit lame] people say something like, "Woah! that's a sweet guitar riff!" when it actually is the bass. The bass is so beautiful. Thanks for reading this, fellow bassist.
