Bass Solo 
With Distortion and Wah (o = wah open bass + = wah closed treble)
Solo played 4 times. First 13 bars are played each time with 4 different 
endings. These 13 bars vary slightly each time but you don't really 
notice the differences as the Bass is very quiet in the mix but it can 
be heard if you really listen hard for it, especially the distinctive
distorted wah accenting the power chords, giving the instrumental an eiere
groove.
