The grandmaster of funk bass appears on this buckethead song and brings all 
his mad bass effects with him..

The bass doesnt come in until about 0:54

Start there by playing the main riff..
G|-------------------------------------------------------
D|-------------------------------------------------------
A|---------6-----6h8-6--6--------------6-----6h8h6---8---
E|-6--8-8-----(6)-----------6--7--8-8----(6)-------8-----


Play that four times and then rest again.. some of all those effects might be 
bass, but if they are then i have no clue how to play them.

Come in again at about 2:21 and play the main riff four times again..


Then play this..
G|----------------------------------------8----
D|-8h10-8h10-8h10---------8h10-8h10--8h10------
A|----------------8----------------------------
E|------------------11-8-----------------------

E|------------------11-8-----------------------

G|-----------------------------
D|-8h10------------------------
A|--------9----8----6----------
E|-----------------------6--7--


Then turn on the craziest distortion you have and play this..
G|------------------
D|------------------
A|------------------
E|-8-----------------
Play that four times..

Then play this twice..
G|-------------------
D|-------------------
A|-------------------
E|-8------------6----

Then play this twice..
G|------------------
D|------------------
A|------------------
E|-8----------------


Continue on like that and add some fills or some effects if you have them.. 
just improvise.

Then go back into the main riff and play it twice..

Then play this..
G|-----------------------------------
D|-------1-0--------------3-1--------
A|-3---3------------5---5------------
E|---3----------------5--------------

G|---------------------------------
D|-1-1/5-5-5h8-6--6--6--6----------
A|------------------------2--------
E|---------------------------------

Then go back into the part with crazy distortion and then end it.

Thats it, later.
