The End.

This was originally tabbed by fer_noise@hotmail.com
I re-tabbed this bass line since the last version was incomplete.
I had to learn this bass line and program it on my Zoom 234 Drum Machine.
While learning it I went through each measure and jotted note-for-note (which was pretty tough) as tabliture so it'll be easier to program to the Zoom.
