bass

You're right. RD was a fantastic album and Michael is an awesome bassist. I'm glad Tom finally found a stable crew to fit into the band and contribute their ideas and make the music sound like it came from a band, as opposed to session musicians.

I'm also glad that they're turning up the volume on the bass and keys so we can actually hear and enjoy them.
 
Well unfortunately I dont play the bass but I know that mysongbook.com (you need guitar pro wich is downloadable at the site) has bass transcribed in the tab for most of the songs. you just click on the bass part and start shreddin' other than that im not too sure! Hope that helped a little.
