  "Calm like a bomb! Ignite!"

For the solo, keep nailing away at the B note and I think the other note he uses is its perfect 7th. 
Just mess around with those 2 notes and you’ll get the idea.

Note: For the distortion, I think he uses an octave split which divides the single notes into one 
regular note and another an octave lower. That or it could be just "Y.tim.K’s" cool ass bass ***.
