Right, here is my transcription of the bass part ( yes, including solo!) to the Red Hot 
Chili Peppers song Stone Cold Bush from Mother's Milk. 

It is not perfect and if you have any corrections, additions or suggestions just email 
me. I also would like to ask the help of the technical experts as to how Flea gets the sound 
he does on the high notes in the solo. I have marked then with a ~ as vibrato, but I'm not 
sure that is correct and I can't get that sound.

I figured this out all on my own with my Bass Collection SB301 and a Peavy TKO 110. 

Key:

Above the line:

V = The downbeat. Hence four in each bar.
v = The upbeat. As in one-AND-two-AND-... THe AND is the upbeat.

NB. I have only put the upbeat in the the bits that need it, mostly the solo.

Below the line:

(___) = Triplet
  3 
+ = Slap with thumb
^ = Pop with finger.

In the TAB:

||--
||o- = The beginning of a repeat. The end is the same 
||o-   but backwards
||--

~ = Vibrato. I think, see above.
10h12 = Hammer-on from 10th fret to 12th.
3p0 = Pull-off from 3rd to open.
X = A slap where the note is muted.


If this is printed in Courier 12pt it should come out fairly nicely although spread out 
over three pages.

This tab im pretty sure is perfect except i think that where you first start playing the verse at the begining you are suposed to play this
G---------- G--------
D---------5 D--------
A---------- A -------
E-0-2-3-3-- Instead of just E-0-2-3-3
Until the part where he says "And thats alright with me"
 
Got something to say?
