 Notes: After this, the song goes back to Riff 3 x8, followed by another

 two riffs a couple of times and then ends with Riff 1 x6 (with ad-lib

 Ok, here are the TOOL bass lines I promised way back when. I figgured I'd
 do something to "redeem" myself for my sins. Bassists, for your jamming
 pleasure I have transcribed (sometimes only parts of) "Prison Sex", "Bottom",
 "Opiate", and "Sober". I broke the songs down into riffs but you'll have to
 listen tho the albums to get the exact tempo an rhythm. Also, the E-string
 is dropped to D (this is common in, I think, ALL TOOL songs.)
 
 Tips on playing these songs:
 1) Play with a pick. Paul does. Although, sometimes I do it
 w/ my fingers.
 2) Boost your Treble and Mid a few notches to get a sharper sound.
 But, you still want to keep the low end rumbling.
 3) Don't be afraid to experiment. Paul varies his bass lines a lot,
 give it a try as well. It's just easier to tab it when it's
 straight forward.
 (4) Use a 'chorus' effect, 'specially w/ Sober. --Bucky)
 Enjoy!
