A Easy U2 Song For Bass? - Page 2

I just tried out Desire... now I know why Adam's looking bored when they do that on Rattle & Hum

Never tried to type out tab before but here goes...

A:-5-------------
E:--5-0--5-0-5- etc...

then when he goes "With a red guitar"...

A:-5--5-5--5-5-5-
E:-------------------5--5-5--5-5-5-....

and back to the other bit.

Then just stroll around and smoke a cigarette or something

Regarding the Desire tab above, I just realised that it only works that way if you tune down half a step... Sorry if that confused anyone!

I just wish half the songs I'm trying to learn (NYD, Velvet Dress, Desire) weren't tuned down that way... it's kinda irritating for a newbie like me. Maybe my bass is cheap and nasty, but I don't like how slack the strings get when I tune it down (or maybe I need new strings?). I can work around it on NYD, but not on Desire.

You dont always need to tune down, just play everything one fret to the right of what it should be. But sometimes it is easier to tune down... If you have old strings, getting new ones will really show a change and sound better.

Does anyone know the bass tabs for A Man and a Woman?
Ive tryed looking on different sites and they all seem to say ist against the law or something. I found one but it didnt sound anything like it.
So if anyone could post me the correct tabs for A man and a woman that'd be great!
Thanks

Yeah, on NYD I can just play one fret to the right, but Desire uses an open E (or E-flat in this case) string, and I don't have a five-stringed bass, so I can't get around it.
I guess I should visit the music store... I've never changed the strings before!

Eek! Basstabarchive.com has got that legal message...

Not sure how accurate it is, but it's the only one I could find still up.

i'd say with or without you is REALLY easy to learn for bass guitar. D - A- B- G. pretty simple.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking For is a little harder than With or Without You on Bass, but it is so fun to play!
