Subject: TAB: "Spanked" by Van Halen Here's yet another addition to my collection of hard-as-hell Van Halen tabs. But this one is probably the easiest of the bunch. The interesting thing about this song is that the main riff is played on a special six-string bass/guitar. The bass/guitar is an instrument that Ernie Ball/Music Man makes that is supposedly "the guitar for bassists, and the bass for guitarists". It's BASS-ically a guitar with open strings that are tuned an octav (tabfu.thudspace.net)
