Lightning Bolt, "Dracula Mountain" Bass Tab
Tab (C) Robert Bateman, 31/03/2005.You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. Rightyo, this is my go at tabbing a bit of Lightning Bolt. The tuning used for Brian Gibsons Bass is C,G,D,A (the same as a cello). He uses Banjo string for the A string, up to you if you want to do that i guess! If you snap a string tuning the Bass up, don't blame me!!!
