I've heard one or two complaints about the Slutsky transcription, but I'm sure it's nonsense. Although, Jamerson is renowned for adding many deadened and in-between notes (for want of a better word) for intonation and rhythmic feel.[/quote] If you order any of Carol Kaye's books she will add some "goodies" to your order, including transcriptions of various popular tunes.

I would go for the bag end any day the 1x15 is amazing. The EA cabs sound so dry and clinical to my ears, ive got a friend who also owns a bag end and and EA 1x12 and the ea is gathering dust.......... Bag end cabs are really loud, well made, musical cabs...[/quote] I've owned the bag end, the Wizzy, and the MLine - and they're all good cabs. The EA's Wizzy's have a bit more top but still sound warm. The bag ends weigh a ton (3/4" plywood). Of the three my preference would be the MLine. Since the bag end cabinet is so small it doesn't really have much effect on the sound, by shoving in a different speaker you can alter the tone quite a bit. The transmission line EA cabs are technically more advanced. If you're considering a bag end see the Flite I have for sale - I bought this to replace a bag end (dimensions are the same) at half the weight. Edit: Just realised it's a 12" bag end you're asking about. It's the 15" bag end I had (SD15?) - I never new they did a 12".

It is interesting that the Dr Licks transcription and Carol Kayes differ. Listen to the original and see which is closest ... It wouldn't surprise me if neither of them played on that track. Must admit I do like Marcus Millers slap take, I'm not really into slap bass but he sounds superb.

I've ordered a lot of "stuff" from thomman and probably about 20% has arrived damaged (they use DHL who in turn use local delivery knob heads in my neck of the woods). They've allways been good in sending replacement "stuff", but it can be a hit of a hassle since they require photographs of the damage, signed statements etc.
