You Cant Quit Me Baby (ver 3) by Queens Of The Stone Age

Artist: Queens of the Stone Age
Song: You Can�t Quit Me Baby
Album: Queens of the Stone Age (1998)
My Favourite QOTSA song, but not it�s not been tabbed very well so here's my 
interpretation (You will most likely have to listen for timing) -
Verse Riff - This is played near enough entirely through the song, Nick Oliveri and 
Michael Shuman play the riffs in slightly different positions on the Fretboard like so -
Nick
D#|--------------------------------|
A#|--------------------------------|
 F|-0-0-12--10-12-10----10�-10h12--|
 C|------------------12------------|

D#|--------------------------------|
A#|--------------------------------|
 F|-0-0-12--10-12-10----10�--12----|
 C|------------------12------------|

Michael
D#|--------------------------------|
A#|-----7--5-7-5----5�-5h7---------|
 F|-0-0----------7-----------------|
 C|--------------------------------|

D#|--------------------------------|
A#|-----7--5-7-5----5--7-----------|
 F|-0-0----------7-----------------|
 C|--------------------------------|


However in this tab I'm mainly focus on Nick's way of playing the song.
[Note - Some live variations include just simple hammer-ons and pull-offs but not moving 
too far away from the general groove of the bass line.]

For the lines - 'This life is a trip when you're psycho in love' and 'I want you to 
notice when I'm not around' the bass goes something like this -

D#|------------------------------------|
A#|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--|
 F|------------------------------------|
 C|------------------------------------|

Then it resumes to the normal riff repetition.

D#|--------------------------------|
A#|--------------------------------|
 F|-0-0-12--10-12-10----10�-10h12--|
 C|------------------12------------|

D#|--------------------------------|
A#|--------------------------------|
 F|-0-0-12--10-12-10----10�--12----|
 C|------------------12------------|
After the guitar solo/bridge part and when josh sings �You�re solid Gold I�ll see you in 
hell� and when he goes �ahhh ahhh�, I think the bass mixes between �
D#|--------------------------------------------------|
A#|----------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
 F|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-----------------|
 C|--------------------------------------------------|

D#|--------------------------------------------------|
A#|----------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
 F|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-----------------|
 C|--------------------------------------------------|

And a variation of the main riff which I think goes like this
D#|---------------------------------|
A#|---------------------------------|
 F|-------14--12-14-12-----12-12h14-|
 C|-10-10--------------14-----------|

Then back to the main riff
D#|--------------------------------|
A#|--------------------------------|
 F|-0-0-12--10-12-10----10�-10h12--|
 C|------------------12------------|

D#|--------------------------------|
A#|--------------------------------|
 F|-0-0-12--10-12-10----10�--12----|
 C|------------------12------------|

When it comes to the Outro on the album the bass lines pace increases then it is just 
general �noodling�.

Sound �
Usually the sound for the bass is achieved with an overdriven valve amp, but if you 
don�t have the space to overdrive your valve amp a distortion or fuzz pedal should do.
From what I�ve seen live Oliveri tended to use Fender Precision basses and Jazz basses 
with Seymour Duncan quarter pounder pickups and flatwound strings. Amp wise usually a 
Ampeg SVT with 8x10 cabinets. While Shuman uses a 50�s style Precision bass and an Acoustic 360.
