This probably isn't completely right, but unless you happen to have a
Carl Thompson bass, which I do not, the open notes don't sound right.
As such I use the E on the B string instead of the open E, which is
also easier for me to play.

after the intro:
         s  s   pp   s  pp   s   s   sss  p

The correct way to play the main riff for "The Ballad of Bodacious" by
Primus is as follows:

S=slap P=pop X=ghost note X=Sextuplet-ghost notes


    ---------------------------------------0--
    -------2--2-----2--2--------------------
    -------------------------------------------
    --0-XX--X--3-X--X---3--3-XXXXXX--3

Hopefully thats right [it sounds right at least]. Enjoy and e-mail if
it's wrong.

A lot of you guys were accurate on some parts. Here is the correct
version.

\ = Slide down

Note: A lot of the mutes during the verses are really spontaneous, so
you need to be quick. Most of it is slap/pop.

Intro
G--------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------
E--0-----------------------------------------------  let it ring, then

Verse
G----------------------------------------------------------0-
D-------------------2-2----   2-2----------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------
E-12\--0-0-x-----------3-x-------3x 3 x---0h3x------ 3-0-----

Bridge
G------------------2h4p2----------------------------
D-----------------------------4---------------------
A-2-0-2-3\ 0-2---------------3\---------------------
E---------------------------------------------------

Then
G---7---------9----12h13p12h13p12----------
D-------9--7-------------------------------
A------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------

End/outro Pt. 1

Play riff above, then play this

G--9----------------13h14p13h14p13---------------
D------11--9--12---------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------

Pt. 2
G------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------
A----7-5-7---------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------

The part above is the last 3 notes of the song.  It may be down a step
(3-5-3) I'm not sure. I just tabbed this off of the top of my head.
Anyway, there it is.  Now, who's gonna ride Bodacious?
