Pile No Pile Pile bass tab by The Brave Little Abacus

Tuning: D Tuning (D G C F)



Adam Demirjian, the guy behind most of The Brave Little Abacus said that most of Just Got Back and Okumay
were done in either D standard/whole step down (DGCFAD) or a variant of it (DGCFGC).
Because of this, and since the only difference between those two tunings is the highest two strings on a
normal guitar, I'm assuming that the bass is tuned to DGCF (one whole step down).
