Bass tab for:
"Stardust" by Luscious Jackson
Off "Fever In Fever Out"
Tabbed by Marieeve Bonnet (oceanid76@aol.com)

        NB: sometimes it's hard to hear the bass in this song, so a lot of this is guesswork: bear with me.

(pattern #1) X12

G------6----4-6--
D----4----4------
A--4-------------
E----------------

one day i was telling you
all about coming from dust
cashed it in to buy a few locks i knew wouldn't rust

(pattern #2) X4
        NB: not sure if there's bass here, but if there is, it sounds like this to me.

G----6----
D------4--
A--4------
E---------

if i lock you up
will the edges fade 
will you understand
how simple i am

(pattern #1) X12

i can walk for many miles
thinking that i'll never comprehend
i can't argue worth a damn
'cause i know my questions never end

(pattern #2) X4

if i walk away
will the phrases play
or will they all become one
under the sun

(pattern #3) X2 
        NB: it's hard to tell how the slide is done, and where it ends. 
        but for what it's worth, here's what i hear (please email me if you figure it out):

G--14s-12-------------13s-14-13s-14s-12------------
D------12s-10------------------------12s-10--------
A----------10s-8-------------------------10s-8-----
E--------------8s-7--------------------------8s-7--

(pattern #4) X1

G------4-4-----------4-4----------------4-4-----------4-4------------
D--0-2-----4-4-4-4-4-----4-4-4-4-4--0-2-----4-4-4-4-4-----4-4-4-4-4--
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

and when the pleasure is done
(why don't i want to know it all)
(why don't i want to know it all)
and when the measuring's done
somehow i already know it all

(pattern #1) X12

answers never satisfy
i wear them out as soon as they come
i lie in between the sides
i'm happy when the fighting is done

(pattern #2) X4

so i'll read the news
and i'll get the blues
and i'll make it matter
for a minute or two

(pattern #3) X2

(pattern #4) X1
NB: Add a A-2 pick at the end of this pattern

and when the pleasure is done
(why don't i want to know it all)
(why don't i want to know it all)
and when the measuring's done
somehow i already know it all
