Studio recording, 2015 (Blurryface album); Tyler Joseph on bass. No direct rig rundown for this track, but live photos and interviews confirm P-Bass and Fender Rumble as main setup for this era.

Difficulty

The bassline is straightforward, mostly root notes and simple rhythms, with no complex fills or advanced techniques required. The main challenge is maintaining consistent timing and tone.
