I actually do not play bass guitar, I play regular guitar, but I have a friend that plays bass. I've noticed for a few PJ /EV songs, there are no bass tabs around. Ones in particular that I am looking for is Just Breathe and Long Nights. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

    i would suggest that you look at the guitar tabs & transpose them to bass. following root notes, etc. JB & Long Nights should be pretty easy to figure out. if i have some free time, i'll give them a shot.

    also, try giventowail.com. they have some PJ bass tabs (along with almost every song on guitar).
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    i think there is a video for the bass in Long Nights on youtube. It's not very hard to figure that one out anyway because the bass is very clear, and there are very few bass notes.

    if the bass tabs aren't on GivenToWail they're probably not on other tab sites either unfortunately.

    A fair amount of the songs have listings for bass tabs as well as guitar.

    Haha alright! I'm sure Jeff wouldn't mind at all getting all call from some random dude looking for bass tabs.

    Giventowail is great, but unfortunately, they don't seem to have anything from 2007-present, so no Into the Wild, Backspacer, or Uke songs.

    That'd be great if you came up with bass tabs, but I guess I'll take the suggestions that I should just figure it out on my own. I would've attempted this before, but I don't own a bass guitar.
