Song: Alice in Chains "Lab Monkey"
From "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" Album
Bass Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb
Tabbed by: jjhand
The bass uses some kind of light fuzz distortion in the intro but comes in
strong and clean when the guitars are added. The riffs are fairly easy but it
complements the guitar chords in this song and adds to the melody well.
Please rate or comment.
