Anyone know where I can buy the bass transcription of Mark King's line on Fashion Fever.

Many thanks Scott, good to have you back. Have a very Merry Xmas.

Bought my Status Graphite MM4 Neck. Prompt payment, really easy transaction. Recommended. Many thanks [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/5150-lapolpora/"]lapolpora[/url] for a smooth sale. I hope you enjoy the Neck as much as me. A Very Merry Xmas

Great bass on this track but Mark King plays a 5 string bass and although I own a Five string I just can't get enough attack when playing the B string notes. So to make life easier to read I have raised the notes below Eb up an octave, adjusted bars so that were possible where Mark plays a run the notes stayed at the correct intervals, the odd bar here and there I have written a Ghost note were originally a pitched note had been written. Transcription lifted from Stuart Claytons Level 42 Bass Transcriptions Volume 5. Unfortunately all Volumes are now out of print and as rare as rocking horse sh*t, which is a shame as all of Stuarts Transcription are a must for slappers everywhere.

Don't open it until the 25th. Enjoy

Correct, I have credited Abe on the transcription.

Bass transcription of Larry Carlton's Room 335 from 1978. The first section is from a 1995 issue of Bassist which a fellow bass chatter was kind enough to post on here. However it only went up to bar 45, so have just got around to completing the song. If your not familiar with Larry Carlton, he played with the Crusaders and back in the day he was the go to guitarist for Steely Dan. Quality. I hope you enjoy. Merry Xmas [attachment=125294:Room 335.pdf]

Fun tune to play. I have included the nice little slides that John plays, in bar 22 the last note in the bar (F#) is not slid up to the A, but slid up to the B on the same string and the A is then played open. None of the slides written slide to the next note, just slide down to the first fret and then play the next note as an open string. [attachment=125207:Let;s Stick Together.pdf]

Played this on my last contract, always disliked the song but enjoyable to play. [attachment=124886:You To Me Are Everything.pdf] Feed back would be nice. In IE explorer, if you click on name file should open. If you right click and choose save as, rename the file and add .pdf to it's ectention.

Out of your price range I know, but, I bought an unlined fretless MM stingray 4 earlier this year. Being the kinda guy who likes to walk before I can run I replaced the neck with a Status Graphite lined fretless. Then traded the original neck for a fretted one, best of both worlds and within half an hour I could swap necks depending what I needed. Both necks work well and the Status neck is a dream to play and far better than the original . However I have now Descided to sell the bass and would be willing to sell with both necks for £900.00. To buy a replacement EB neck from Status would cost £286.00, however neck comes as a solid piece which means holes need to be drilled for the tuners, plus a set of original EB tuners are not cheap at around £100.00 a set. Hipshot D-Tuner and Stingray hard case included.

Money. A great tune and fun to play. Not a really demanding piece though, so, are you sure you are playing it right? I don't mean the notes I mean the fingering. The second and third notes are raked but apart from the 7/4 time sig. should be fairly easy. If you read, PM me and I will be happy to email the transcription I have, Basically the first bar begins on a B, 2nd fret on the A (3rd string), An octave B, 4th fret of the G string (1st string), F# on the 4th fret D of the string (2nd string), Back to first note a B 2nd fret on the A string, F# 2nd fret on the E string (4th string), an open A string (3rd string), first note again , an open D (2nd string). Repeat 9 times etc. Regarding the odd time signature it may also help if you count 1,2,3,4.1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,3 etc. As regards the fingering: I would play the following 1st note- First finger 2nd and 3rd notes-4th finger (rake) 4th note - 1st finger 5th note - 1st finger 6th note = 0 fingers 7th note = 1st finger 8th note = 0 fingers As you can see for the first section, all in one position so there is no reason why this can't be played with your eyes closed (very relaxing). The rest of the piece is fairly straight forward with the furthest left hand shifting from the 7th position back to the 2nd position. The majority of the walking bass section when it changes to 4/4 can be played with just a one fret shift between notes. Sorry if I sound condescending, I can assure you I am not. Diolch Yn Fawr
