As you all know, the bass parts are somewhat hard to 
decipher so,               |
Use your best judgement when playing this song. I know 
I fucked the chorus part |
Because of the picking being used. I just can't hear 
what the hell he's doing!  |
If you can make it out... hell, you let ME know!

 Although this part has the higher-registered Chapman 
Stick licks in it,
 I wont transcribe it because it can only be done using
 a 6 string which I dont have.
 It can also be done on the guitar but, I'll just have 
to send that part to a
 Guitar-Tab site.

 (this part is picked somewhat lightly)

Here's a little treat for you Bass players who actually
 have the balls to take the |
forefront. You'll need a 24 fret neck to do this or a 6
 string bass.               |
I use a Yamaha TRB-4 24 fretter. Stuff like this is 
always fun at the music store. |
This is the acoustic guitar intro transposed to bass 
using the two-hand technique. |
Remember: this intro piece is mostly all right hand 
technique.                     |
The two-hand technique is made up of all hammer-on's 
and pull-off's.               |
Have fun and don't loose any hair trying this. It's all
 about fun baby!  [ PT ]    |

No "Tab-ware" programs were used in any way, shape or

This was all blood-sweat-tears from the ears baby! I'll
 be tabbing out a lot of
TOOL basslines pretty soon.
