Notes

Studio recording, 1989 album version. No direct evidence for bass amp; most Soviet studios DI'd bass or used local solid-state amps. Guitar chain is well-documented, bass is not.

The bass line is straightforward, mostly root notes with a steady rhythm and little technical challenge beyond maintaining a consistent pick attack and timing.
