Here's the Stinkfist bass tab for all you bassists out there.  I've been
fortunate to see Justin play this live a few times and it looks something
like this. He might be using some effects in areas that I can't hear
clearly, but I'm sure that he has some slight delay and chorus in some
areas of the song.

P.S. - feel free to email any compliments... any complaints - just email
Kabir to tell him what a bastard he is! =)
