i dont know what nirvana is talking about. i wrote this tab. i didnt steal it. hes just jealous that none of his tabs are popular enough to get up to the top 15. if he paid attention he would notice that my tab was copied by another person, i didnt copy it, he did

to nirvana: if u were smart at all u would notice that those tabs are completely different. look at the spacing of the tab and of the slides. everyone knows the tabs should look similar cause its the same song, therefore being the same notes. Ya, i made a typo. a accidently spelt Krist Novoselic wrong. like you have never had a typo in your life.
to Tom: just cause you dont like the song doesnt mean nobody else likes the song. and because i wrote out a tab that you dont like doesnt mean i suk at bass. you have never heard me play so you cant say anything.

In essense: this tab is good because it is 100% correct and thats all that matters!

Yeah dude, nice tab. But I can tell you got it from the book. Cause I have to book too and it says the exact same thing. And umm...The man who sold the world....WTF are you talking about that link to compare is Breed. This tab may not have been copied from someone else, but it may have from the book.
