The bass line to A Forest is pretty simple. There isn't a whole lot to it.
To start with, we have the main guitar riff:
(Main Guitar Riff:)
E|>------------------ Eventually in the song, the drums come in.
B|>------------------ It's after two repeats of this guitar riff,
G|>------------------ AFTER the drums come in, that the Bass comes in
D|>---7----3---2---3-
A|>-0----0---0---0---
E|>------------------
And in the Bass comes: On only two strings (Yes, those are repeat signs.)
|| G A A G A A A C C A C C E F F E F F C D D C D D ||
||* A>-------------------3-3-----3-3-------------------3-5-5---3-5-5-- *||
||* E>-3-5-5---3-5-5---5-------5-------0-1-1---0-1-1------------------ *||
|| ||
This bass line repeats (over and over and over) until in the "peakish"
feeling in the bridge (you can hear where) it changes into this:
A>-------------------3-3-----------------------------5-5----------
E>---5-5-----------------------------1-1--------------------------
I've written it parallel to the main line to show the timing relationship
between the two. To end the song, just rapidly plung the A(fretted: E>-5-).
I'm not sure if there are any variations on the main bassline anywhere.
I didn't hear any striking or noticeable: Corrections always welcome.
