None of them
Please read: I submitted a tab for Goliath, and not long afterwards emailed the same tab
Jon Stockman (Karnivool bassist) for his opinion.
I had some notes and positioning wrong so he kindly corrected for me. below you'll find
100% correct Goliath tab, as played by Mr. Stockman Himself!
In fact, I left in some of the performance notes that he included in the tab.
Artist: Karnivool
Album: Sound Awake
Bassist: Jon Stockman
Tabbed By: Jon Stockman/Sean Doyle
Year: 2009
6 string bass tuned (low to high) BF#BEGC.
You can probably play this song well on a standard tuned 5 string, or a 4 tuned BEAD,
but since I have a 5 string, I decided to try it tuned BF#DEG (the bottom 4 strings of
tuning)
There is one section in the middle however, that requires the extra 6th string
(see below)
5 string with distortion, tuned BF#BEG
