Lee Van Cleef Bass

(ver. 2)
Primus
I couldn’t find a good bass tab anywhere so I decided to make my own. The technique I
use as far as the intro/verse is the double thump slap, if you don’t know what this is or
can’t quite do it, this tab may not be much help, but if you can, well then I hope you 
find it pretty close. Ie. Double thump is a bass technique where you play like slap and
pop, but it incorporates a pop with your thumb on the upbeat.

Key:
v-double thump down
^-double thump up
h-hammer on
p-pull off
s-slap
p-pop
x-mute note
^^-finger vibrato
