The Family And The Fishing Net Bass Tabs by Primus

The Family and the Fishing net
Primus (well, their cover)
Rhinoplasty
tabbed by Bazz/billiejoe2000@hotmail.com

Though very weird (typical Primus), this is actually
a really good song, expecially when it gets going, and
being as i myself am a Les Claypool wannabe, i thought
i'd contribute to all the other tabbers out there, so here
ya go

( i'm not gonna tell you where to play the parts, just
what to play, it shouldn't be hard to work out where
they go)

*Les uses some effect, i don't know which one, i tried
wah and it doesn't seem right, so i prefer to use
'flange', just use what ever you got really

/ - slide up
\ - slide down
h - hammer on
x - mute

verse

G:--------------*-----------------/ all the verse is

then finish on a F# (E2).
