Cradle Bass

(ver. 2)
Mudvayne
Tuning is B. This is tabbed for a 5-string in standard tuning.  I read somewhere that
uses this crazy drop tuning (F# B F# B E). I've dropped my bass down to that tuning and Im
ya folks, not diggin that sound a whole lot. So Im playin it this way. Enjoy.
 Tuning: BEADG

[-0-0-1p0-0-0-0-0-1p0---0-0-1p0-0-0-0-0-1p0--]

 Break in the music with just the guitar doin its thing.
 The sound of the drumpedal is going along with this on bass:

[X----------X-X-------X-X-X----------X-X-X-X]
[X----------X-X-------X-X-X----------X-X-X-X]
[X----------X-X-------X-X-X----------X-X-X-X]
[X----------X-X-------X-X-X----------X-X-X-X]
[X----------X-X-------X-X-X----------X-X-X-X]

[-----------------------4]    4X
[------------------------]
[-----------------------2]
[------------------------]
[0-0h1-1p0-X-X--0h1-1p0--]

[-------------------------------------------------------]
[-------------------------------------------------------]
[-------------------------------------------------------]
[-------------------------------------------------------]
[0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1-0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1]

[------------------------------------------5]
[-------------------------------------------]  repeat once more but without
[------------------------------------------3]  the last part and then break
[-------------------------------------------]  into the next riff.
[0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1-0h1-0h1---0h1--]

[------------------2/4--4/5------------X-X-X2/4X-X-X-X-X]
[--------------------------------------X-X-X---X-X-X-X-X]
[------------------0/2--2/3------------X-X-X0/2X-X-X-X-X]
[--------------------------------------X-X-X---X-X-X-X-X]
[4-3-0-3-0-0-2-3-0-----------3-2-0-2-3-X-X-X---X-X-X-X-X]

[-----------------------------------]
[-----------------------------------]
[-----------------------------------]
[-----------------------------------]
[---slide somewhere on this string--]

[-------------------------------]   do as many times as necessary
[-------------------------------]
[------------------2-----3-2----]
[------------5------------------]
[0-1-2-0-3-4---4-3---3-4-----4--]

The riff then alternates to this:

[-------------------------------]    as many times as necessary
[-------------------------------]
[-------------------------------]
[------------5------------------]
[0-1-2-0-3-4---4-3-5-4-3-6-5-4 -]

Then to the break down...

[-----------------------]    [----------X-X--X--X-X]
[-----------------------] 3x [----------X-X--X--X-X]
[-----------------------]    [----------X-X--X--X-X]
[-----------------------]    [----------X-X--X--X-X]
[0---3----5---0-0-5h6-0-]    [0---3---5-X-X--X--X-X]

[4---2------------------]    [4---7---9-------------]
[---------6-------------]    [----------------------]  repeat both several
[2---0------------------]    [2---5---7-------------]  times
[---------4-------------]    [----------------------]
[-------------0-0-5h6-0-]    [------------0-0-5h6-0-]

and then it breaks to this groovy little tone here...
[----------------------------]
[----------------------------]    something of that
[------8p7-------------------]    nature
[8p7-X-----X-8p7-------------]
[-----------------X--0-0-0-0-]

[-----------------------4]    4X
[------------------------]
[-----------------------2]
[------------------------]
[0-0h1-1p0-X-X--0h1-1p0--]

It then goes into a slight variation of the riff above and then into something weird

[-------------------------------------------------------]
[-------------------------------------------------------]
[-------------------------------------------------------]
[-------------------------------------------------------]
[0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1-0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1---0h1-0h1]

 I owe a lot of credit to dehumanize and his tab. If it wasn't for him it would have
me alot longer to figure out this song. This is the version for all of you who have a five
and dont want to change the tuning. i believe this is rather accurate. this has in it 
detail of the riffs that are around the open and first fret. this is how i hear it. i
be wrong. i dont care. enjoy.
