  9. Tabbed by Jeffrey Swing/Christopher Preston

  11.     Right after the drum intro, Les turns on some tone and crunch filled
  12. distortion (Anybody know what kind of pedal he uses? I think it's his good
  13. 'ol ADA $600+ pre amp) and strums all open strings.  With them ringing, he 
  14. uses his whammy bar, which I haven't found a way to duplicate this on a 
  15. non whammy bass, because he uses all four strings to equal decibal 
  16. proportion.
