Dave Farrell used a Music Man StingRay bass during the Meteora/Minutes to Midnight era; live, he reportedly used a battered StingRay specifically for “Given Up” as a stage joke, with distortion applied heavily

Difficulty

The bass part in “Given Up” is rhythmically straightforward with aggressive picking and few embellishments, making it slightly above beginner level.
