School Days Bass

(ver. 2)
Clarke Stanley
Legend :
T         Thumb
P         Pop w/ index finger
^         bend
~         vibrato
S         Strum w/ finger nails
h	  Hammer
p	  Pull-off

Note: In here I discuss how to raise a harmonic pitch. I found another
way to this, on the 19th fret of the G string. Give it a good bend,
this will produce the same sound. 

Riff # 1

This is just the basic riff, I don't think anyone can play this 
perfect, but here is a basic version, try and work with it.

(0:00  -  1:54)

-9--6--4-4-2-2-4/6\4-4--2-2-4/6\4-4-5-2--|
-7--4--2-2-0-0-----2-2--0-0-----2-2-5-2--|
-----------------------------------------|

Riff # 2

I saw another tab with this in it but they were playing it an octave
too high, simple slap riff.
(1:55  -  2:08)

|  Here you play the harmonic then grab the head of your bass   |
|  with your left hand and the end of the body with your right  |
|  hand. Using your body like a fulcrum bend the bass around    |
|  you.  This will tighten the strings raising the pitch,       |
|  thus a bend.                                                 |

Riff # 2 (again)
He plays this through a sampler, like the "Boomerang" or the 
"BOSS RC-20 Loop Station". Stanley plays this riff 8 times.  
Then it is looped under his solo, or at least thats how I do it.

(2:41  -  It Just keeps looping)
