This is a song that I've wanted to cover for some time. It's a fantastic Jason song and a lot of fun for the bass. I've had it requested before for me to do, but It was over on Twitch, so I couldn't clip the request, but as you can see, I've had Metallica requested a bit
For Guitar Hero: Metallica, the band used original master recordings of their songs, not re-recorded material. This song was included on the game, so people have been able to pull Jason's original bass track from the game to make an isolated bass track, which is what my tab is based on. You can also confirm based on the playing and sound that it is indeed the original track. A few people have posted it to KZbin, and I've linked one of those below, but you can find it elsewhere on the internet, or pull it from the game yourself, if you so desire.
• Metallica - King Nothi...
(Isolated bass track from Guitar Hero Metallica)
4:32 - 126 to 127 you hear an abrupt cut. It sounds like they took out a section to shorten the song
• Metallica: King Nothin...
2:32 - Shows Jason with a 5 string bass with Jazz pickups
5:16 - hand position shows pick, but you don't actually see the pick
• Metallica - King Nothi...
1997 AMAs
3:25 - same bass with jazz pickups, and using a pick, shows main/intro riff well
4:23 - by frets 2 and 3 in Chorus
6:19 - main riff after solo
6:26 - main riff
• Metallica - King Nothi...
bass is generally easy to hear in this one
1:28 - shows briefly Jasons left hand position in chorus
4:37 - same low position for the 2 and 3 (Cb and Bb)
Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

[@lieutenantpengui5351]

Craziest thing about this song is that james wrote the bassline

[@starkill3r966]

Riff master 🤷‍♂️

[@AaronSmith369]

Some of his catchiest work. 😆

[@szczvpiorex72]

If Jason had written it there wouldn't be any bassline. So underrated and underapprecuated bassist

[@rat_king2801]

thats crazy to you? any metallica fan already knows this.

[@Xellx3]

​@@rat_king2801ok bud.

[@ThunderBassistJay]

Interesting bassline, so perfectly played. 👍

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

Thank you so much Jay!

[@piefafemarocchio3349]

Hi! I'm Federico, I'm 10 years old. I'm Learning so much watching you! Could you please play FIXXER? So I could learn it to! Thanks

[@rocken14]

Thank you for all the amazing tabs brother. You've helped this touring musician out quite a bit with learning some last minute tunes. Kudos!

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

My pleasure! I’m glad I could help you out with those last minute songs!

[@ElliYeetYT]

It’s a Very catchy and smart Jason bass line.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

Agreed! This song doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves

[@an-open-eye]

this is the only metallica song i actually kinda like and it's all because of that bass line. the drums are so boring, though! 😭

[@jimmycurry5113]

Pretty sure hetfield wrote the bassline. Most of the Jason basslines like until it sleeps and stuff were hetfield who wrote it

[@nckhed]

​@@an-open-eye With a song like King Nothing, a simple and straightforward drum beat is all that is needed. It serves the song.

[@hectortercero556]

Muy buen trabajo bro, me encanta tu performance. Ojalá puedas hacer Until It sleeps también. Por cierto, está muy bonito tu bajo

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

I’ll add “Until It Sleeps” to my list for you!

[@tomsabatino]

Another great cover good job!

[@cab1165]

Please do Fixxer by Metallica. I love It!! Thanks man!!

[@ClintHalliday]

Thankyou so much mate. I should have been playing this one ages ago!

[@wheedo01]

[@baseballfan4877]

[@braydenbonifas4305]

Kick ass bass part, thanks for the vid

[@TheGeordieBassist]

I quite liked the 'load' album 👍

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

For how well it sold (5x platinum and Metallica’s largest opening week), I’m surprised we don’t hear more about it or the songs off it

[@MichaelEMJAYARE]

The jazz bass is fuckin’ sexy. Jealous. Im rockin’ a Squier VM. Didnt Jason have a Jazz like this around that time? So cool, mang.

[@rudymila4325]

That was relally bad ass song dude, you played perfect....but Hey can you do Return to serenity by testament please brother🙏🙏

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

I’ll add it to my list!

[@canadianguitar-garrettont7368]

[@Nameonly67]

[@helbersoncarlos4096]

Parabéns ficou legal essa versão Poderia colocar a afinação completa das cordas, por favor?

[@robertspeedwagon982]

He said it was Eb standard, so I guess it's Eb - Ab - Db - Gb
