"Calm like a bomb! Ignite!"
For the solo, keep nailing away at the B note and I think the other
note he uses is its perfect 7th. Just mess around with those 2 notes
and you’ll get the idea.
Note: For the distortion, I think he uses an octave split which
divides the single notes into one regular note and another an octave
lower. That or it could be just "Y.tim.K’s" cool ass bass shit.
