Alright, if you don't want to read through this explanation, scroll down, my tab for Step Up is down there a bit. However, I feel it is necessary to explain something about Linkin Park's bass tuning. I see a lot of people
submitting bass tabs for LP songs in standard tuning, drop D, or C#ADG. These tunings are WRONG, plain and simple.
Phoenix mainly uses drop D, half step down for his tuning. That's C#G#C#F#. There are exceptions, but that's his
primary tuning. So to all the people submitting tabs in other tunings, retune your bass and try again. For quick
reference, here's a guide to LP's bass tunings on various songs:

Now, on to the actual Step Up tab. The only thing I'm unsure of is the verses: the notes on the 2nd string might actually be on the 4th string, but it's just an octave difference, so play whichever sounds better to you.
