Offspring - Kick Him When He's Down bass tab
Band:The offspring
Bassist:Greg Kriesel
Album: Ignition
Standard Tunning (E,A,D,G)
I figured this out not too long ago, with a little help from my friend who is
a drummer. It is not a hard song, beginners should be able to pick it up pretty
fast and more advance bass players can get it right off the bat. This is the
first tab I upload so take it easy on me =)
(Bass starts right after the guitar intro finishes. The guitar stops for
one beat ann then bass kicks in with the rest of the music)

Bridge(x7):
Here guitar starts playing along with the drums again and theres no bass
for the first part of it. It should be fairly simple to find out when bass starts
again.
