Notes
Studio recording, 2003 (from the album 'The Link'); no direct studio rig rundown available, but era and Labadie's known preferences suggest Jazz Bass into Ampeg SVT or similar high-headroom tube amp.

Difficulty
The song requires fast, aggressive fingerstyle playing with precise timing and dynamic control to cut through a dense, distorted mix. While not virtuosic, it demands stamina and tightness typical of modern metal bass.
