Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal Bass

Alien Ant Farm
"Smooth Criminal"

I've read that the bassist for this band plays a 6-string.
So, I looked at a picture of the band, and he certainly does.
I find that weird, because unless I'm hearing this wrong,
the only string used in this song is the E.  OK, here goes...

Intro/Verse
