Song: The Last One Alive
Artist: Vast
Bass Player: Thomas Froggart
Album: Music For People

Well here's a song i've been meaning to work out completely that I saw
so here it is!... This is one of my favorite basslines of all time. The
feel that Mr. Froggart has on this and the rest of this album is extraordinary.
In this song in particular he created a very expressive line that on the
surface looks very plain, but contains alot of complexity when played
with the feel and articulation that he uses. I really think this is *VERY* close
to accurate... I tabbed redundant sections only to show slight variations...
the only spots which I think may have mistakes are the places
where a note such as a Low E could be played on the E string or the B string.
After careful study I think he's using the low B to play that note. Also, in
the parts where he is riding the root notes, he may not ALWAYS be playing straight
8th notes, but may skip a note here and there... although I think I have it pretty
much the way he plays it.. As usual, feel free to email me with any comments
or corrections, i'll try and have some more Vast tabs up soon. Enjoy!

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Mike Wanna Be	#1 by Mike Foster at Jul 21, 1971 at 2:17 AM EST
	Ya winter, you're right. other mistakes are... "Though my mind's with that fantasy." - "Numb my mind with this fantasy." "...and awakes you from humanity." - "...and awakes you from your vanity." "You'll find me because I'll be on top of the mountain..." - "You wont find me because I'll be on top of the mountain..." This song is great. To me it seems like a girl he loved cheated on him, and now he's gone. He's above her, and she's nothing to him anymore. Hence..."On top a mountain, pissing on your grave."

No Picture mason Average	#2 by mason coats at May 25, 1975 at 10:59 PM EST
	one of my all time favorite songs. like you couldn't tell.

	k, edited, took long enough

No Picture Tony Wanna Be	#4 by Tony Moreno at Apr 23, 1980 at 5:36 AM EST
	"As I walk from this place, the streets.".. I thought it was " as i walk from these faceless streets" anyway.. I just fucking love this song, man whoever deserted the plans they had with him, is a fool. I think he was betrayed pretty badly.

No Picture RTBM Professional	#5 by RTBM at Apr 13, 1983 at 11:30 AM EST
	HA! so I guess I was right abot the " faceless streets" thing!

No Picture Spencer Wanna Be	#6 by Spencer at Mar 16, 2004 at 6:57 PM EST
	LOL, man I only read as far as the first mistake, they totally fucked that song up! I love VAST, one of my fav bands by far.
