I have to admit that I hadn't even noticed it until it was mentioned. I am trying to get into the habit of deleting it from the finished score but I don't always remember to do it. 

You don’t need to delete anything. Click on the + towards the right hand corner and the Bass part will come up. You can then edit the part how you wish then save to Pdf.

If I could humbly offer a few suggestions? Firstly great work on all these charts....there's some serious time and effort gone in here and that is excellent. I know this from all the transcriptions I've done how long it takes (http://www.dodgebass.co.uk/transcriptions-2/transcriptions) but this is not me trying to hijack your thread, rather to suggest if I may:

1) Including chords in a transcription is really cool because it allow the reader to understand how the bass line fits against the harmony. This may also resolve / aid your issue with figuring out what key signature pieces are in...I can see you've done that for some actually but my feeling is it's really helpful for ALL charts. 

2) Consider your physical layout on the page - get rid of 'electric bass / bass' at the start of each line - we know it's a bass transcription (!). Also you can use double bar lines to show different sections (which again you do on some charts) but also consider trying to set the number of bars per line to a logical amount (e.g. 4) which in turn hopefully allows you to make different sections of the song clearer (often sections are in 8 / 12 / 16 bar sections). This allows for easy navigation by the reader - sometimes I'll even note Verse / chorus etc on the chart as well. 

3) It's often useful to include a BPM or tempo marking and if you know it perhaps style and even technical notes like use of plectrum or specific bass / strings used.

4) See an attached transcription for what I'm trying to suggest above.

 Feel free to ignore this post entirely, but hopefully this constructive feedback will be of some use to you. Good luck with it all and keep up the good work!

If you are using Sibelius you are getting ‘electric/bass’ at the start of each line because you are printing the Score rather than the Part. They will look more professional without the names at the side

I don’t think it’s been mentioned but it should be in Eb (3 flats)

I've been grateful for the transcriptions posted on here and elsewhere during lockdown, so I thought

it was only reasonable to reciprocate.

I heard this track recently and was inspired to do a transcription. The  track is 'The Blood,The Blood by Joshua's Troop.

The bass player Bryan 'B Dub' White and I'm assuming he is covering his own playing.

Good Luck with it, it moves at quite a lick!

It's a 16th-note shuffle, which you would write like this:

It's also an octave higher than you have it.

Sometimes there is more than one way to write stuff out - but in this case it's got to be they way Joebass has suggested

Usually above where the repeat in question starts or where you put  theDS al coda

Another good question 😃  I think in some types of classical music, the repeats are skipped once you have followed the DC instruction.  However, if I was handed a pop chart, I'd probably play all the repeats, even the second time round.

It is best to indicate whether repeats are to be played on the D.S. or not.

”Play repeats on D.S” or “No repeat on D.S”

Something like this.

As has probably been mentioned before, notes shouldn't cross the centre of the bar (in 4/4). The Crochets that cross the centre need to be split into Quavers and tied - there are exceptions to this, but none that apply here, apart from the semi breves. 

Thanks for putting the Jimmy Johnson solo on. He's a player who deserves a much higher profile than he has.

I think it should be just 8va all the way through?

Just a quick note: it’s generally better to ensure you can see complete beats in the bar, whether you’ve written notes or rests. E.g. bars 63-70 - you should be able to draw vertical lines to separate a bar of 4/4 into 4 quarter note beats. ties between notes don’t count for this convention as the beats in the bar are preserved. The only common exception is eighth note-quarter-eighth note (which lasts a total of two beats) and less often, eighth-quarter-quarter-quarter-eighth note, lasting 1 bar. These are used a lot in central and South American music in cut time (which is written as 4 beats to the bar but counted in 2).
I’d also use a double vertical line between sections (verse and chorus, for example), unless it’s at a repeat sign.

Finally, I don’t think the key signature is right as every C and G is written with natural sign. I’d probably write it with one sharp in the key signature - then you can remove all those natural signs.

Hope this helps!

This also applies to semi quavers which should be beamed into beats - even when it includes rests.

Sibelius tends not do this by default so there are  lots of examples out there now of this rule being broken.

If you don't read much these rules may seem a bit fussy, but to people who do read they are important as that is what they are used to seeing.

Regarding the Key signature: It is in A, therefore I want to see it with 3 sharps - despite having G and C naturals.

As a reading Bass player if I'm playing a Blues in D, I expect it to have 2 sharps despite an abundance of C and F naturals: I want the Key Signature tally to the Key I am in.

I wasn't sure what to price to put this on at, but looks like it was too high.

So price drop to £825

Yes please

Yamaha TRB 5P  £950

This is one of the older TRB's with the Piezo.

These are really well made basses and the Piezo can add a touch of an acoustic edge to the sound.

Good condition for the age - a few scratches and chips but nothing too major. (which I have tried to show in the photos)

Neck is good and plays really well - it is strung B - G.

The weight is 4.38kgs/9lbs 10.5oz. Feels comfortable for a 5 string and balances very well.

Comes with a case (not original).

Any Questions, feel free to ask

Last Price drop before EBay!!! 

Yes

Willing to post at cost or meet up somewhere 

Can do, l would need to get some packaging but I don't see why not

Price drop to £200
