Subset Games Forum

I have to say I love FTL's music, its practically half the game. That said, I've been learning bass lately, and have wondered if anyone has or has in the past had tabs or sheet music of any of FTL's music. Thanks in advance

Hey mate, I'm a guitarist but just grabbed out my bass to give it a go for you, I hope the tabs are accurate.

Probably not all 100% right everywhere, I've never written a tab before haha. I hope this is close enough as a basis for you.
That's all I've had time for at the moment, I'll get back to it tomorrow if you want some more haha.

First one is spot on, i'll be trying the second tomorrow
*edit-thanks for that other one, please do keep going. like i said i'll try them out tomorrow but thanks

Also I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could tab the battle versions of Engi and Rockmen

You didn't have any preference until now so I was just like okay, I'll just start tabbing from the beginning lol. I'll have a look if I can do engi/rockmen battle.

Thanks man, very much appreciated

Here's the first one for you.

Hope its right. It was hard for me to pick up some of the bass because its so well blended in, I think I gotta train my ear more haha. Have fun.

Thanks so much, feel free to post any others if you'd like.
