Members scurvydog Posted April 17, 2009 Members Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the beginning bass line for Pennywise's cover of Tainted Love. Anyone know it? The only copy I have is really distorted and I can't quite make it out.Any help would be great.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hearafter Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 If Pennywise screached their fingernails on a chalkboard through a megaphone, they'd still improve Tainted Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Social Distortion covers it too and the bass is very clear and pronounced in it. They are also more popular than Pennywise, thus improving your odds of finding a tab for it. How different are the two versions? I haven't heard the PW to know.

Members MikeMess Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 there is a mix of different versions of tainted love on youtube including the PW cover. You can get an idea of the progression from that, but it seems pretty standard to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FreestyleIntruder Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 No offense but why would you need bass tab for Pennywise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scurvydog Posted April 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well thanks guys. The only part I need it for is the very beginning. I know the song in 3 other versions but they are all basically the same. The PW one has this bass solo kinda thing at the beginning and then a shorter version about 1/2 way through. Plus it sounds more like batman...Bat Bat....Bat Man...etc. Very punky. That probably doesn't make sense unless you've heard the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's listed on the youtube mix as PW but I just found it as Social D also. Ok, it's actually a band called Shades Apart but it's being sent around Youtube as either Social D or Pennywise among other odd bands.myspace.com/shadesapartAnyway, now that I have a decent copy maybe I can figure it out.Thanks,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
