Bass tabs
Big Empty- Stone Temple Pilots
This song has *alot* of improvising on the bass, but this tab has the
basic structure:

The pattern goes: Riff A,B,A,C,A,A; but keep in mind that he ad-libs some
of it.

That's basically it, but remember that there is alot of improvisation on
that song, so bear with it. I tried to describe one of the fills, but it
seemed really vague, so I didn't even bother with the others. Oh yeah,
don't e-mail me for any tabs. If I did transcribe the song you're looking
for, it would already be in this archive, SO LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!
