--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-----------------------| =============================================================
