********************************************************* ********************************************************* *** PRIMUS - CONSTANTINOPLE *** *** tabbed by Sathington Willoughby *** *** Sathington_333@yahoo.com *** ********************************************************* *********************************************************
This song is a cover that Primus did of The Residents song Constantinople. It was origanally played by Primus live and was then put on the single cds of some of their songs. It was recently released as a bonus trackon the remastered version of their second Cd, Frizzle Fry. I'm not sure whether les uses a four string or a six string - or a fretted or fretless bass. I have a 5 string fretless, and this seems to sound perfect : (the notes are tapped on the fretboard)

After you play the first part 4 times the guitar comes in and when it does you continue to play the same pattern - and with your right hand you tap from somewhere around the 12th fret up to the last fret on the first string (12- - -21?) and then start back at 12 again. You play it with the added notes about 4 times also.
VERSE
(notes still are tapped the fretboard)

I'm sorry If I got the number of times you play a not or verse wrong or something, because I'm not infront of my stereo, I'm just infront of my bass.
