Smashing Pumpkins - This Time bass tab
Title: This Time
Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins
Album: MACHINA/the machines of God
Tuning: E A D G
Guitar World suggests that you tune your bass up 1/2 step. But they also warn
that it could damage your bass, so I figured out that you can play this song in
standard tuning.
