Artist: Fear Factory Song: "Replica" Album: Demanufacture Tabber: TJ Dry Lung Vocal Martyr: Burton C. Bell Heavy Duty Scarifier: Dino Cazares Total Harmonic Distortion: Christian Olde Wolbers Maximum Effective Pulse Generator: Raymond Herrera Thanks a lot to Yani and Ray for giving me the opportunity to do this. My name is Dimitrije Kostic and any questions about this tab or any others in the Fear Factory Tablature Archive can be emailed to me at martyr@fearfactory.com I will gladly investigate any possible errors in any tablature on this site. ------------------------------------------------------------- This seems to be Fear Factory's most popular song. Fortunately for any novice bassists out there, it's also (in my humble opinion) among the easier of Fear Factory's sometimes arduous songs. Most of what is really necessary for the song is for the bass to hold steady behind the guitar during the staccato riffing (Riffs A, B, and D, for example) and to provide backing during the choruses (Riff E). I have also tried to include open strings to create more resonance, however if you feel this is inappropriate, you may replace them, e.g... |------------------| |------------------| |---instead-of--0--| |-5----------------| if you want the bass to have a more staccato effect as well. Have fun! Note: Major thanks are in order to Rich Broadhead ferris@saturn.superlink.net for pointing out the painfully obvious screw-ups in the previous, really ***ed version of this tab. Tune all strings down a perfect fourth (B, E, A, D) LEGEND: H -- hit-on P -- pull-off ~~~~ -- vibrato A.H. -- Artificial Harmonic N.H. -- Natural Harmonic / -- slide up -- slide down moderate, comfortable speed Intro: Burton yells "Ugh!" and then break into the song Riff A |--------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------| |---------------0---0-0-0-2-----------------0---0-0-0----| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------3--| Riff B |--------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------0---0-0-0-2-------------------0-0-0-0----------| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------3-3-3-3--| Riff C |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-2--2-2-5-5-5-7---4--4-4-5-5-5-3--| Riff D |------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-----------------0-0-0-0----------| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------3-3-3-3--| Riff E |--------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------| |-5---7-4--(4)--7---9--6--(6)--5---7-4--(4)--0-22-2-22-222222--| Riff F |-------------------| |-------------------| |-------------------| |-0-22-2-22-222222--| * ** * ** ****** Riff G |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-0-22-2-22-22-2-2-222-2-22-22-2-2--| * ** * ** ** * * *** * ** ** * * Riff H |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| Song Structure Riff A 3 times Riff B 1 time Riff C 4 times Riff A 3 times Riff B 1 time Riff C 2 times Riff A 4 times Riff D 2 times Riff E 2 time Riff F 1 time Riff G 1 time Riff A 1 time Riff B 1 time Riff C 2 times Riff A 2 times Riff D 2 times Riff E 4 times Riff F 1 time Riff H repeat as necessary Riff E 4 times Riff F 1 time Riff H repeat as necessary
