I have yet to see a PERFECTLY accurate tab here at UG (including my own I'm sure :)), but this one may be the first. Very nice job.
Amazing tab.
as a newb to bass (3 yrs guitar) im glad to see tab like this on the internet! i mean look at that, all with quarter notes eigth notes and even sixteenth notes maked. so easy to understand and play. so well done a person who never heard the song b4 would get it. WELL DONE. also glad you classified the tempo as psychedelic rock :)
