This is what actually mike plays this song, there's a ,of bass tabs for this but all of them is wrong...
BTW I used the bass track for this so It's 90-100% right ;)
It's a little hard for  beginners but if you can do octaves in bass then your good to Go!
 
Bass starts at 00:37 (think I'm cracking up)

Well, thanks :D !

Great tab! I was going to post one myself, but this one is very except for a few variations or corrections that I would make. This is the tab that people should be looking at for basket case.

The variation in the chorus sounds better like this to me: Gb|----------| Db|-6h7-6----| Ab|-------7--| Eb|----------|
