I like to learn how to place the bass on this song, I cannot find the chords or bass tabs for this song. If someone can help tab this out. I don't know what key this is played. I think the bass is either placed on in drop d or standard.

Cool song and I've never heard it in my life.
The bass doesn't start until around 0.50 seconds into the song. Before that the keys carry the bass.
I hear the bass droning as "C - Ab - F - Eb" and repeat. Sounds best if you play the C & Ab on the E string and the F & Eb on the A string.
Sounds like the Key is Cm but all you need to do is play each of those notes for 2 measures each. Total of 16 plucks per note. Then play the next note two measures...etc.
I could be wrong as I only listen to about 20 seconds of the bass line and I figured it out with no amp on my dusty beater bass which may not be in perfect tune.
