SAINT AND SINNER (from the KISS CD "CREATURES OF THE NIGHT")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: The bass here is fairly simple, triple-based and mainly on the
open E-string. The sound is really metallic, kind of like constant string
buzz, which enables the bass to cover both the low end and cut through on
the minor fills.
