Hey guys, this is my first time posting here. I'll get right to the point.

My friends want me to play bass for a competition thingy they have. The thing is, they've chosen a song in a regional language, and as such, no tabs or backing tracks or whatever exist for it. I'm still a novice bassist(around 6 months of experience), and I don't have any experience in figuring out the bass line of a song on my own yet. I need to get this figured out by tomorrow, and have it practised :/
I was wondering if anyone here could help me with this, and give me some pointers and such.
I've linked the song below. The bass starts at around 2:00



Thanks a huge bunch in advance.
 
I don't have time to do this right now but the bass is quite simple and hearable. Somebody can surely tab it for you.
Some parts like the bridge and turnarounds are too tough for a beginner though.
I'm trying to find someone, but it's hard, very few people I know play bass. That's why I thought I'd ask help from here. I'll keep searching though. Thanks.
 
Not trying to be rude but you're better off learning it note by note than to waste time searching for tabs. People learn quick in times of need and desperation right?

Would gladly help you out and write it down though, but I'll do it on monday/tuesday if that's on time.

I'm gonna try figure it out now. If I can't make much headway by monday, it would be amazing if you helped me out, I'll just skip tomorrows practice session. Thanks a lot man.
 
No offense, but unless your the best 6 month bassist, you aren't going to be able to play that song convincingly- lots of stops and some intricate pieces... and then to do it with groove and feeling? My advice simplify all those parts, and concentrate on getting the main groove and stops down.
 
gimme your email. i've done a tablature for that song, but sorry for innacuracy on that, you should be able to improvise em...

here is a download link so that everyone can see

Thanks a huge bunch. I've figured out the Groove and a bit of the phrasing on my own, but I'm still stuck with the intricate bits. That link you shared isn't working for me though. It'd be a huge help if you emailed it : [email protected]

Edit: I downloaded it, thanks a bunch
