Rusty Cage Soundgarden
---------------------------------- RUSTY CAGE - Soundgarden ---------------------------------- Tabbed by: Brandon e-mail: brandonvin@gmail.com This song has one of my favorite bass tones. You can use a pick or fingers, whatever you like.. what you need to do is hit the strings as hard as possible, so that they make that "clank" noise on the frets, and add some of an overdrive/distortion effect. anyway, here's the tab.
