Motley Crue - Red Hot Bass

Band: Mötley Crüe
Music and Lyrics: Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil and Mick Mars
Bassist: Nikki Sixx

Hi again!
Well, I guess I've tasted blood haha. This is one of my Mötley Crüe favourites (it's 
one of their favourite tunes btw). The bass is very dominant in this song compared with the 
and I think it' fun playing it.
Though Nikki's bass is always in D-G-C-F I've tabbed this in standard-tuning, it works flawlessely
