Song: Professor Nutbutter's House Of Treats
Artist: Primus
Album:  Tales From The Punchbowl
Tabbed By: KryojenikStasis (jneale@optonline.net)

This is a very cool song, but most tabs I see are wrong.  I assume
this happens because you need a full 24 frets to play it correctly,
and many basses have only 21.  Needless to say, don't attempt this
song without a 24 fret or greater bass.

The length of the song on Tales is 7:13, but there are shorter live
versions out there, so don't be thrown by the time markings above
each part.  Have fun!

Note: I guarantee this tab is wrong somewhere.  There's no way
around it.

Note 2: This tab is long as hell, but I wanted it to be clear.  I'm
sick of incomplete tabs.

"Magical" Riff Variant (3:06) - at end, play chromatic descending

                                         D|---21---20---19-| etc...

Guitar Solo (3:20) - Like Verse 2, but ghost notes are not ghosted.
                     Use distortion and improv if you want.

Bridge 3 (3:48)
G|-----------------------------------------| Improv around these
D|-----------------------------------------| two patterns.
A|-7-7-7-----------7-7-7-------------------|
E|-------7-0--0----------7-0---------------|

G|-----------------------------------------| Stay within the
D|-----------------------------------------| E minor(?) scale.
A|---------5--5------------5---------------| (E F# G A B C D E)
E|-3-3-3h5---------3-3-3h5-----------------|

Lead-In (4:15) - Slap and mute on the E string like Intro.
"Magical" Riff (4:36) - Play first two "bars" of the Variant(see above)
Verse 1 Riff (4:46)

Outro (4:59)
   Play Bridge 2 with distortion.  Improv after the singing stops.
The bass cuts out around 6:15 near when the speaker says "certain
situations" and returns around 6:30.  Continue improving.

That's it!  Sorry for the length, but you should have few problems.
Feel free to modify the song to your liking, but leave the tab alone.
