Plaster Caster bass tab by Kiss

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Pretty standard fare for the bassist with some experience with
Gene's style. Here we find the usual diatonic outlining of chords, the
chromatic connecting phrases and little fill. Check out the diad (making
an F5) during Rhy. Fig 3. It is a slightly unusual move for Gene but it
has turned up before (although I can't remember where).
