Metroid - Kraid's Lair BASS TAB Song by Hiro "Hip" Tanaka Tabbed by auriplane (crystal@panix.com) I was surprised nobody on GameTabs had done this! I think there were five tabs, but no one had done a bass transcription. A literal transcription needs a six-string bass, because of the double octaves. So I made two versions; the four-string version is ALMOST the exact song. The only difference is it has single octaves instead of double octaves on the third bar. I notated this song in 3/8 time, so each "measure" is a dotted quarter, divided into three eighth notes.
