How do you know that the bass tabs that you get are the real ones.

Try them out and see if they sound right. Or try and find a cover of the song on YouTube that uses those tabs and see if they sound right from that.

Buy an official music book. If a band has it on their website, then it is almost certain that it's going to be the real thing.

Exactly. And if you come across a part that isn't sounding right, forget that part of the tab, and listen over and over and try to figure it out using context clues from the rest of the tab.

I recommend Audacity. A free, open source audio software wherein you can import a song (in virtually any format) and slow it down, boost the bass, etc. It's lovely. Especially because you can repeat a certain section on a song and just loop it. I've fallen asleep numerous times listening to a 5 second loop of a song. I don't know how my family didn't notice a 5 second loop repeating for an hour and a half... but that's neither here nor there.
