Help transcribing/figuring out a solo please. (kbin.social)

Hi.
Im a silly bassist trying to make a tab for a kinda obscure song that my buddy and I want to play. I have already transcrived the whole song but the solo, I have no idea what they play there since its uses a wah pedal or something and I dont even own an electric guitar.
Its also way too fast for my bass brain.

So im requesting your help, any help is welcomed. The song in question is Futility by Dark Reality and the solo I cant understand is the second solo that starts around 4:57. I think the song is in Em.

The tab will be uploaded to Ultimate Guitar once its done for everyone to enjoy, so you will not only be helping me but everyone who likes this band (all five of us!)

I was thinking that in exchange I can try help transcribe some other song but whoever can figure this solo doesnt need my help. So im willing to help anyone who might need it as long as it doesnt have a crazy fast solo with lots of wah

Thanks

Sounds like it's in E minor. If you just play the E minor pentatonic scale (I would use the E at the A string, 7th fret as the root) that'll get you in the ballpark. Tabbing it all out would be a chore. I never copy solos note for note and I'll bet you the guitarist on this song plays it differently every time.
