Bass tabs

Cheap Thrills - Frank Zappa
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
This is the Scott Thunes overdub version rather than the original mix/greasy love songs
version. This one is more easy to find and much more fun to play.
I think this is actually done on double bass or acoustic bass, but it works fine on electric bass.
Slow Intro
