Bass Tab

★4.6(4)3k views

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Ministry - The mind is a terrible thing to taste

For bass guitar. All songs are in standard tuning unless noted otherwise.

I haven't transcribed Test because I don't have it.

Thieves

Intro - You don't have to play the repeated part but I do for fun. You must
