I was on Elephant Talk (King Crimson website)last night, and playing my Frame By Frame disc. I searched the site and found out some tabs for Elephant Talk (the song itself) and it was stick tabs, now i found a way around this, but here's the tabmain riff:
D |--------------------------|
A |--------------------------|
E |-------14--14-----14--16--|
B |-------13--13-----13--15--|
F#|--------------------------|
C#|--------------------------|
C |==9==9====================|
G |--------------7-9---------|
D |-----------------------7--|
A |--------------------------|
E |--------------------------|
B |--------------------------|
Now i tap the double stops(is that the word you use for 2 note chords?) oh the A and D string 2 frets higher then transcribed, but my question is how would i tap the bass notes in time, and what position?

Bass notes are AADEA. Move the treble part to the D and G strings:

----11--11-------11----13
----10--10-------10----12
---------------------12---
---5--5----10-12----------

This is why I don't like tab. Not so easy reading Stick tab for bass, is it?

Damn, I've been playing those intervals as fourths instead of tritones, and a fifth high to boot...I'm gonna hang my head in shame now.
