Most TAB I've seen is written standard, but with the alternate tuning noted... If that'snot the case, take the std. tuning and move everything one fret towards the nut...

I got all of mine from three places...
EBay, Pawn Shops, and Local Music Stores...
Fender also has a Duff McKagan bass that's based off of the 1985 Jazz Special design that came out last year sometime...

You want the sound? No problemo... I have close to the exact rig he used in the 80's, the big secret is the pick ups in the bass... I have 4 Jazz Specials, and 1 came from the factory with the Duncan Quarter Pounder P & J pick ups (NON-Active...), I pipe that thru a Yamaha SPX-90 and a GK400 head. Any 4x10 cab will get you close enuff. The other 3 Fenders I have came with the std. Fender pick ups and their output isn't close to the 1/4 #-ers, the mid's and hi's are what fill the sound out... Other than a wireless, that's it. If you have a P/J set up on the ESP I'd highly recommend switching pick ups... I almost forgot, Rotosound strings are what he uses, but they will eat your frets due to the high nickle content... I switched to DR strings (45-105) and get the same soung, a longer life, and they don't kill my frets...

All it is a hammer-on combo from the 7th fret to the 9th fret on your 4th string... Basically it's just getting your pick hand and fret hand in synch with the timing of it all...
