A Fruitless End Ever Bass Tabs
Project 86
This song has been bugging me for awhile. Steven Dial has a very unique style and is a
very talented bassist. I saw a few innaccurate versions of bass tabs this song on some
Christian music websites, so I'm posting a more accurate version here. Everything is
written how it should be played. I am 95% sure that this is correct. Feel free to make
changes and alter it as you play.
