		         Lightning Bolt - ASSASINS
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  So, this is my tab of "Assasins" by Lightning Bolt off of Wondeful Rainbow
  The tuning used for Brian Gibsons Bass is C,G,D,A (the same as a cello).
  He uses a banjo string for the A string, up to you if you want to do that I
  guess!  If you snap a string tuning the Bass up, don't blame me!!!

Riff1:

  A ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  D ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  G -0-0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-0-0-0----------------------------------|
  C ---------------------------------------4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7--|

  At some point, this whole thing goes up an octave in pitch, I think
  Brian just uses a whammy pedal to do that!

Riff2: This gets repeated quite a lot

  A ----------------------------------|
  D ----------------------------------|
  G ----------------------------------|
  C -4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7--|

Riff3: A slight variation of the above

  A ----------------------------------|
  D -2-------3-------4-------5--------|
  G ----------------------------------|
  C -4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7--|

Riff4: Quick Bridge

  A ---------------------------------------------------|
  D -2-------3------/4-------5-------------------------|
  G ---------------------------------------------------|
  C -4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5/6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7--/--12---\--------|

Riff5:

  A ---------------------------------------------------|
  D ---------------------------------------------------|
  G ---------------------------------------------------|
  C -4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5/6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7--/--12---\--------|

  After a while he uses the Whammy pedal to take the slide to the
  12th fret an octave higher.

Outro:

  This is played 8 times in total,

  A -----------------------------------|
  D -----------------------------------|
  G -----------------------------------|
  C -4-5-5-5-/--12----4-5-5-5-/--12----|

  Followed by a couple of seconds gap, then

  A -----------------------------------|
  D -----------------------------------|
  G -12-12-12-12-----------------------|
  C -12-12-12-12-----------------------|
