Primus - On The Tweek Again bass tab
Your rating:
On The Tweek Again By Primus, from the Album "Tales from the Punchbowl" Tabbed by Nathan Welton (Snark@rain.org) Hi folks. Guitar : Ha ha ha. What's a guitar? Bass : Les uses a 5 string on this ditty, and I don't have one. Chances are that you don't either, so to make up for this descrepancy I downtuned my E string to a D, and this tab is based around that tuning. He also uses his whammy bar, and I don't have one of those either. That's why the D always wobbles. If you really must have this, I suppose you could downtune to a D flat and wiggle the 1st fret (and also adjust the tab), but that won't sound too good and probably won't be good for the bass. Key : / or \ is a slide WHM is where I think he's using his whammy (you can just hit the open string twice. So, before doing anything else, DOWNTUNE YOUR E STRING TO A D Intro : |------------------| |------------------| |-------2-3--------| |-0-3-5-----0-5-7\0| Main part : |-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------| |-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------| |-----------|-----------|-----------|-----2-3---------| |-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-----5-7-0 WH| The main part repeats and intensifies until about 2:10 (the end of the guitar solo), at which point we hear a modified turn around : |-----------|-----------|-----------|----------------| |-----------|-----------|-----------|----------------| |-----------|-----------|-----------|-----2-3--------| |-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-----7-7-WH-| He kind of twiddles around on the D for a while and then he goes back into the main part again until about 3:20 or so, when he uses the above modified turn around and skips up an octave. |-----------------------|-----------------------| |-----------------------|-----------------------| |---------------------5-|---------------------5-| |-55555-55555-55555-8---|-55555-55555-55555-8---| |-----------------------|-4-5-------| |-----------------------|-----/7-/7-| |---------------------5-|-----------| |-55555-55555-55555-8---|-----------| You he dwindles around on the D again and drops back into the main part for a while, goes up the the octave part and ends on the low D. NOTE: I don't know which makes more sense to you... I put the D with the whammy at the end of each bar. You might think it goes at the beginning. Whatever. Have fun!
