Lightning Bolt, "Saint Jacques " 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!!!

  The song continues playing the Bass C note until about 1'27 into the song,
  with variations in timing and the odd break.

  continues on the last two notes for a bit with a few of random widdles.
  You should be able to figure it out until about 3'19 into the song, 
  the riffs are only small variations on the above.
