Harmonics in YYZ

[bassflaps]

Hey everyone... I've been playing the bass for a few months now, so I'm not that great yet. However, I have recently tried learning YYZ by Rush. It's not as hard as I initially thought it would be, but it's still a challenge for me.

Anyway, I was wondering if someone could tell me which 2 harmonics are used at the end of the 3rd bass fill. In every tab I've looked at, it's always been tabbed out as 2 double stops on the 9th and 10th frets instead of harmonics. This can't be right, I know they're harmonics... plus, I've seen it done in several videos. Any help would be appreciated!

They would be double-stop harmonics on the D and G strings.

Tabbed out:

G|-*5--*4---
D|-*5--*4---
A|----------
E|----------

PS: The very best Rush tabs I've found (bass, drums, guitar) are from The Rush Tablature Project. I wouldn't go anywhere else for tabs.

And they have a very correct YYZ tab as well.

Ahh... so they're double stop harmonics? I never realized they existed. Thanks for the help!
