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:

Hybrid Theory:
Papercut - C# G# C# F#
One Step Closer - C# G# C# F#
With You - B E A D G (Standard 5 string)
Points of Authority - C# G# C# F#
Crawling - C# G# C# F#
Runaway - B E A D G (Standard 5 String)
By Myself - C# G# C# F#
In the End - B E A D G (Standard 5 String)
A Place for My Head - Eb Ab Db Gb (Half Step Down)
Forgotten - Eb Ab Db Gb (Half Step Down)
Pushing Me Away - C# G# C# F#

Meteora:
Don't Stay - B E A D G (Standard 5 String)
Somewhere I Belong - Bb Eb Ab Db Gb (5 String Half Step Down)
Lying from You - C# G# C# F#
Hit the Floor - C# G# C# F#
Easier to Run - (Bb Eb Ab Db Gb (5 String Half Step Down)
Faint - C# G# C# F#
Figure.09 - C# G# C# F#

--------------------------------------------------------

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.
