So, trying to get this down on bass and I have listened about 3 baker's dozens times and I swear I am hearing 7 notes on that final run. The posted tab shows :
E-----------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
G---------4-------------------------------------------------
D---5--7---------7--5---------------------------------------
A----------------------8-------5--------5-------------------
E---------------------------------6--8-----6--3-------------

I am NOT saying this is it, but possibly (with the extra note) it could be:
E-----------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
G---------4-------------------------------------------------
D---5--7---------7--5---------------------------------------
A----------------------8-------5--------------5-------------------
E---------------------------------6--8--"6"-----6--3-------------

or possibly:

E-----------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
G---------4-------------------------------------------------
D---5--7---------7--5---------------------------------------
A----------------------8-------5--------------------------
E---------------------------------6--8--"6"--"8"---6--3-----

Waiting to be humbled with everyone telling me I'm not hearing it right, especially since the tab hasnt been updated (or challeneged) since 1996. Thank you in advance for any light you can shine, Billy D in Phoienix

Damn, it's been a long time since I looked at this one. Actually, I think they are both wrong. Here's what I would be going with now.

Code: Select all

E|----------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------------
G|--------4-------------------------------------
D|--5--7--------7--5----------------------------
A|--------------------8-----5--------5----------
E|-----------------------------6--7-----6p5--3--

Hey Ed, thanks for the reply and your take on it! So I am in every sense of the word a "poser" of a bass player. I have never taken lessons, (but have asked for advise a thousand times), so I might be off here but... the reason I was thinking the ending of the riff was :
A----------------------8-------5--------------------------
E---------------------------------6--8--"6"--"8"---6--3-----

is because the main part is G-A#-C. just listened again with headphones and I think I may have gone to too many shows as my grey matter isnt letting me decren between my suggestion an yours. I'm going to try your way for a while and see what my bandmates thoughts are. Thanks again!
