Big Empty- Stone Temple Pilots

This song has *alot* of improvising on the bass, but this tab has the

basic structure:

of it.

That's basically it, but remember that there is alot of improvisation on

that song, so bear with it. I tried to describe one of the fills, but it

seemed really vague, so I didn't even bother with the others. Oh yeah,

don't e-mail me for any tabs. If I did transcribe the song you're looking

for, it would already be in this archive, SO LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!

thanx-
