How to read Bass Tabs

Now I know the basics of how to read tabs but I was reading a tab for an idea for a movie by the vandals and it goes like 5>---- and I was like wondering what the > means so please help

 

Thanx for the help and I didnt know there was a tab forum on here and I listened to the song again and it doesnt sound anything like what I thought it might yea I have been playing Bass for about 2 weeks now and I usually make up my own stuff and it doesnt sound to band if you would like a copy of the tab so you can play it your self please e-mail me at skaterforthink@yahoo.com or if you know the song an Idea for a movie and you could write like a rough tab for it with out any > then I would greatly apriciat it thanx *Rock on * lol

 

lol yea I know what > means in math terms but this isnt math lol but I actually figured out what it ment and what it means is you keep playing for like a little bit and then change over to the next number so like if it was 5> then you would play like 55555555 or w/e you feel necasary or like if your listening to the song how ever many times the bassist does it on the song but I got a copy of the tab for you since you requested it.
