Hey, here is the bass tablature for Hyper Music. Hope you find this helpful, rate ect.. cheers!
INTRO
The song begins with Matt making some spacey guitar noises, listen for when the drums
come in.
The drums play the hi hat four times, once per beat, on the bar before you come in.
You hold down a D for 2 beats, then slide down the neck on the third beat, and rest for
the fourth.
This is done four times, then you mimic the rhythm the guitar is playing, by playing a crotchet,
then a dotted quaver, then a semiquaver, then four quavers; more simply,
the rhythm is 1 beat, then 3/4, then 1/4, then four halves.
After this section, you hold down a low D for 8 beats.
Then, you play another more complex rhythm, which will also be used in the verse; the
first beat is two quavers,
the second beat is a semiquaver, a quaver and a semiquaver
(an easier way to think of this might be four semiquavers, with the middle two tied together),
these two are repeated for beats 3 and 4, beat 3 being quavers and beat 4 being 1/4-1/2-1/4

FIRST VERSE
The first verse continues to use the rhythm from the last part of the intro
(1/2-1/2--1/4-1/2-1/4--1/2-1/2--1/4-1/2-1/4) repeated 3 times, then on the 4th time
round, you play
the same first 2 measures,
then hold down a G for four beats, then rest four a measure
(the measure you rest for is the bit in the song where it goes "just to spit it in your face")
