**A five or six string bass is needed for this song, but this tab applies to four string
bass guitars as well.
Also, Tim Commerford uses plenty of effects throughout this song, heavy distortion/fuzz
throughout, and a wah, used on the first few notes of the main riff, and throughout the
breakdown, as you can hear if you listen to the song.
