I've recently tarted up overhauled my bass blog and transcriptions website and I'm currently wading through my Sibelius folder of unfinished transcriptions in an effort to get some new stuff up on the site. I started posting transcriptions that I'd done for gigs or as requests from students a few years ago and now have roughly 100 pdfs in the archive which are free to download. There are also some play-along videos for a handful of the more popular transcriptions. I thought I'd start a thread for posting new transcriptions and site updates rather than cluttering up the forum with lots of individual posts. Link is here: www.freebasstranscriptions.com Feedback is most welcome, particularly if BCers have transcription requests or suggestions for improvements! Tom

[quote name='dand666' timestamp='1449673596' post='2925851'] What transcribing software do you use? Also do you use a midi keyboard for inputing? [/quote] I use Sibelius - I know lots of people who use Finale and swear by it but I don't see that one has an advantage over the other. As for inputting it's probably a 50/50 split between midi keyboard and qwerty keyboard - my piano chops are non-existent so I'm quicker just using my computer keyboard.

+1 for transcribing. I find that if I take something off the page then it never quite goes in to my brain and my fingers as deeply as things that I've worked out by ear. When in doubt, I always default to Ray Brown. Bass is nice and high in the mix on this one: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyBecq0SVhE[/media] Ron Carter and Jim Hall also did a great version of it. I think I have this transcribed somewhere, will check it and post on here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTKpxU8aaKY[/media]

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1449497315' post='2924021'] Listen to what was there before Jaco and what came afterwards - his influence is/was astounding - he basically took bass playing to another level. You only have to listen to something like "Birdland" to see how music changed. Admittedly some of his work isn't "easy on the ear" but take the time to listen and it's mind-blowingly good. [/quote] He was our Hendrix - regardless of whether you think he was a genius or a hack you can't deny the fact that he totally reinvented our instrument and that almost every single 'big name' player today takes influence from him in one form or another.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1448456052' post='2915545'] Great stuff! Some nice (accurate) transcriptions on your site. [/quote] Thanks! Glad that people find them useful - I'm always torn between trying to perfect the old transcriptions and starting something new. [quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1448465308' post='2915669'] I listened to this album and Whatcha Gonna Do For Me on a drive to a gig on Saturday. I hadn't listened to them for a while- the Brecker sax break out of "Move Me No Mountain" into "Naughty" is so beautiful and on the money. What a tone- he's so badly missed. [/quote] I feel the same about Brecker's solo on Paul Simon's 'Still Crazy After All These Years', impeccable tone and phrasing in a pop context.

This is also a great track from Naughty with AJ on bass, I did a transcription of it a while ago which can be found [url="http://www.freebasstranscriptions.com/basstranscriptions/"]here[/url]: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SkCsW90g0U[/media] IMHO Anthony Jackson's playing on Chaka's 'Naughty' and 'What Cha Gonna Do For Me' albums represents the high point of his career. I saw him with Hiromi last week in London and he's still as incredible as ever, but I still think the Chaka stuff is the best representation of his playing style in a non-fusion environment.

** Withdrawn** Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass
TKenrick replied to Bearfist's topic in Effects For Sale
Argh bought the big version on here a couple of weeks ago for the same price, this would take up much less room on the board! -
Rational Funk is the perfect antidote to all the instructional guff floating around on YouTube, got tired of the 'running and gunning' stuff pretty soon though. [quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1446980585' post='2903840'] I don't really get it though, he doesn't seem to ever actually [i]teach[/i] anything. Is it just a vehicle for his very funny banter?! [/quote] If you're a drummer, then yes. At some point in almost every video he plays a groove or demonstrates a soloing concept that shows he's pretty handy on the kit. What I enjoy about these are his brutally honest assessments of lots of things relating to the large amount of BS that musicians and the music industry produce - I loved the first minute or so of this...

I'm selling an Aguilar TLC for <£100... great little compressor, only getting rid of it as I splashed out on a Cali 76: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/270759-aguilar-tlc-compressor/

Lozz bought a Tonehammer DI from me, swift payment and excellent comms throughout, top man!

I've been using the Vox Amplug for a while and think it's great - has an aux input if you want to practice with a metronome/backing tracks/whale noises. Also takes up very little room in a gig bag and is perfect for warming up before a gig. The newer ones are slightly better build quality than the original ones (I broke the first one I had fairly quickly).

Tonehammer now gone!

Tonehammer is now on hold

Due to new additions to my pedalboard I have the following for sale: Both pedals have been gigged roughly once a week for the last 2 years and as a result have some light scratches - any blemishes are purely cosmetic and both pedals are in perfect working order. Pedals will be shipped in their original boxes. The pedal tape can be removed at buyer's request. [b]Aguilar TLC Compressor:[/b] [s]£105[/s] [b]£95[/b] delivered in the UK Great compressor, very easy to dial in sounds straight away. This is the newer model without the annoying lip over the jack sockets so right angled jacks are fine. [attachment=202143:IMG_2510.jpg] [attachment=202144:IMG_2512.jpg] [s][b]Aguilar Tone Hammer D.I./preamp:[/b] £100 delivered in the UK (£110 to include 18V supply)[/s] [b]SOLD[/b] Payment via paypal gift, pedals will be shipped promptly (alternatively I can meet in central London if preferable).

I bought an Origin Effects Cali 76 from Ben, he was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. A total gent and highly recommended!

I lasted the whole 8 minutes, but I now feel queasy and absolutely hate bass solos.

[quote name='sam-davies' timestamp='1436284513' post='2816743'] I am a VERY happy man right now. This is my birthday present from (the greatest) girlfriend in existence. The guys at TKS did an amazing job of turning it around quickly and it looks great. Will be trying it out once some speaker cables arrive. It's a horizontal S112 in tweed with the brown/gold cloth. [/quote] Excellent taste, sir! I have the identical colour scheme on mine: [attachment=199129:Screen Shot 2015-08-23 at 14.24.45.png]
