Providing a Kyuss Bass tab for phototropic

me and the people i am jamming with now think of doing a kyuss song together.my friend suggested to play the great song phototropic of their great album "and the circus leaves town". 

unfortunately kyuss is still not so well known and there were no bass tabs for the song on the internet. 

so i had to sit down and tab it out (which i am quite good at, but it is still work).

actually i didnt plan to post any tabs on this blog, more so because they style of this blog is not designed for tabs, but i still thougt there might be some people interested in the tab to save the hassle of listening it out, so here it goes. If the line breaks / structure is not right with your browser/screen, you will have to copy paste the code into your text editor (/notepad). then it should look normal again.

the bass should have a normal tuning, but some steps lower, starting with C instead of E. 


0:30
|----------9---------------9--9-----9--9----------------
|--------------9--11--12------------------12--12---------
|---7-------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------
or:
|--------------------------------------------|----------------------------
|------14----------12--14--14----14--14---12-|---12--14-------------------------------------
|----------12--14----------------------------|-----------12--14-------------------
|-12-----------------------------------------|-------------------12-------------------------------





1:11 2:00 2:06, instead of playin above, let it fade out with this on defined places
|-12--11------|------------------------------|---------------------------------
|---------12--|--12---14---------------------|----14/12~------
|-------------|------------9-10-11-12--------|-----------
|-------------|-----------------------12-----|------


chorus, playable multiple ways, example:
|-----------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------
|-0--12----12 12 12 ...---10 10 10 ...------------------------------------
or just like the normal verse. or like the verse only one octave lower:
|-----------------------------------------------
|----2--2--2--2--2--2--0-0--0-0-0-0...(2)----------------------------
|------------------------------------------(0)-(2)---------
|-0----------------------------------------------


3:22 to 3:44, then continue like above
|-----------------------------------------------
|----2-(0)-2- -2/3/2------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------
|-0----------------------------------------------
