This is always an approximation of what the real bass line is.

This tab looks like shit, and probabbly sounds so,
and that's coz' I cant hear bass clearly on my
stereo-but the idea of the tab is ok I guess.
Les uses few effects here, so it's harder to tab prefectly [?]
[my english sucks]

Intro:
G|-2\1-0--2-1-0--2\1-0-etc.-----|
D|-2\1-0--2-1-0--2\1-0----------|
A|------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|
H|--------------------------9\4-|

It sounds similar when you hard slap this:
D|-7-6-5-etc.-----------------------------|

Intro/Chorus:
D|------------x-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------x------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------x--x-----etc.--444343------------------------------|
H|-5-555-35-x----x----------------------------------------------|
            ^^^^^^ I don't think it's played like that, but it
                   sounds nice ;-)
Verse:
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------3-3---------543---------------3-3----------------------|
H|-5-3-5-----3-5-3-5--------5-3-5--3-3-----3-3--5-4-3-etc.------|
   ^super inaccurate tabbed part
                     ^this is played octave higher [?]
Interlude:
G|----------------------------------|
D|---------5-5----------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
E|-------------something like that.-|
H|-5-5-3-5--------------------------|

more than welcome.
