The Package
By A Perfect Circle
From the album Thirteenth Step
Composed by Jeordie White (whatever happened to Paz Lenchantin?)
Transcribed by Ramon van de Scheur

I transcribed this song on a bass in C# tuning (3 half steps down). I think Jeordie also plays in this tuning. I had to tab 

it because I just couldn't get it out of my head and there's a few mistakes in other tabs.

Key: C# minor (the bass uses less notes, only 5, but if you listen to the guitar you'll hear them all)

E |--0--------------

F#|-----------------

(4:50)
Strike harder and use slides when it gets rough, like this(it also sounds fatter if you only use the lowest string):

C#|12/15----0---0-3-0-2

C#|8/10-----0---0-3-0-2

C#|12/15----0---0-3-0-2

C#|12/10----0---0-3-0-2

An overdrive pedal makes this part sound a lot better(distortion sucks on a bass). Before you get here though there's also a 

rough break:

(4:05)
First a few times this:
C#|2-2-2-0

Then:
C#|2-2-2-0----0---0---0


Have fun. This is one of APC's best, even though the song's a bit too long.
