I am not sure about the bass chords in the beginning and end, but on the live videos, it
like he plays chords. If it doesn't sound right, just play the root note, however I
this song with some distortion like Venom does and the chords sound fine.
Effects:
Light or Medium Distortion - Through whole song
Wah or Chorus or Flanger or Phaser - Through the interlude
