 Song: Battlestar Scralachtica
 Artist: Incubus
 Album: Make Yourself
 Tabbed By: L.A.
 
 Dirk Lance (The bassist in Incubus) uses a 5 string. I have a 4 string, and
 so do most bassists, so I've written this up in 4 string format. There are
 parts that would be easier to play on the 5th string, but if you don't mind
 going up the fretboard on your G string this is it. The first interlude,
 tho, is a little shaky and would be clearer on the 5th string. And I would
 include note lengths but I can't really figure them out. And some of the
 notes could be played as open notes (i.e. 5th frets) on the next higher
 string but intonations are off, so play it this way.
 
 Endings are denoted by #
 = means hold note

 Then play all of Riff 1, with the endings in the order earlier described.
 The very end of the song (after the clapping and "fantastic, fantastic")
 sounds like they're rewinding the tape, but I'm not quite sure. It's very
 hard to hear nonetheless, so I haven't tabbed it. If in fact you're in dire
 straits and utterly utterly need this very end part which I can't hear
 anyway, email me and I'll try to tab it for you. That's all.
