Heard About You Last Night by Mogwai
So there are two bass tracks in this song. One is really simple and it starts at about 0:28.
This track is played as a backing track live. The second bass track is a bit more complicated
and melodic. It is just arpeggiated chords. This is the track that Dominic plays on his bass.
I will be tabbing both of these tracks. I am pretty sure that this tab is accurate,
but if it isn't, corrections would be greatly appreciated.
These are just the tabs, you can figure out the timing from listening to the song.

Now here, at the "chorus" or whatever you want to call it, the key changes.
Dominic's melodic bass dies out and the "backing track bass" does a little transition thing.
After that, Dominic comes in again in a different key.

After the "chorus", the backing track bass does another transition back into the original key
and then Dominic comes in again. If you listen to the song, you will be able to
figure out the timing.
Backing track bass: Dominic:
G|----------------------------------|-----------------17---------|
D|----------------------------------|-------15-------------15----|(S)
A|----------------------------------|--13--------13--------------|
E|---3---3---1---1---1---1---1---1--|----------------------------|
G|-------------10------------8(S)---10p8 ---------------------17---------|
D|--------12------------10----------10---10---------15-------------15----|(S)
A|--10------------8----------------8--------/13--------13--------------|

G|-------------10----------------8-----------10p8--------|
D|--------12------------10-----------10(S)---10---10-----|
A|--10------------8--------8----------------8----------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
The rest of the song is pretty much the same. After the second "chorus",
the bass dies off and the song ends with the reverberant keyboard.
