BASS TAB FOR:
Song: That Thing You Do! (by the Wonders)
from the motion picture soundtrack
Written by A. Schlesinger
Transcribed by Dave Musicant

Here's my very first tab - I decided it was finally time to pay back for all
I've found on the net!

The following tab is the bass line which I've developed for playing along with
my band. We play with only one guitar (instead of two like in the original),
and our guitarist is largely a rhythm guitarist. As such, the bass takes on the
dual role of providing the main riff, as well as providing the bass line.

I pulled the guitar riff elements from the excellent tab work by Mike Richards.
