Anyone able to make out the bass in the part with the guitar solo? I tried an AI isolator to no avail It couldn't do it. I love playing this song, but can't hear what's going on with the bass in the gtr solo.

If anyone has transcribed it, I'd love to see it. Even if you just have better luck than I getting a clean isolated track, or a play along, that would be great.

Here is my attempt to "clean out" the extracted bass-line during the guitar solo, just slower - 50% tempo.
The bass has some distortion effect that muddies the bass stem.



And here is a full extracted bass-line.


 
That's great. So much better than what I got. What did you use to extract it with? It's not what I would call beautiful, but definitely clear enough to hear it.

Thanks! I was not expecting anything from this post.

I've used numerous stem apps/software and remixed it with Audacity.
I've noticed that different stem apps tend to produce different outcomes (different acoustic quality of the bass line for this/that song's section/s); therefore, I've used Audacity as a mixing board to mix all those bass stems to obtain the best (for my ears) "listening product."

Overall, the stem apps are an excellent tool to generate a good "template" (about 90% of the correct notes) of this/that bass-line.
For finer note solution, I'm always using Transcribe!

In your case, I'm able to hear almost all notes - rhythmic-melodic context - of the distorted bass-line section during the guitar solo.
The bass line, more or less, repeats itself; therefore, I would pick up some nuances on the second or third repeat of it.
