Pantera - Hard Lines Sunken Cheeks
5 String Bass tuned down 1 1/2 steps
tabbed by jjhand

I believe this is how Rex played this song. He was known for using 5 string bass a lot in 
this era and it fits the keys of the song better (Verses in C#, Intro and bridge riffs in G#).
This guy plays it mostly right so give it a listen- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2zLA8FrcBc
