Just posted a transcription for Magic Touch by Rose Royce. Lequient Jobe’s slap bass on this track is punchy and full of energy.

My 100th transcription of 2025 is a tribute to Jaco by the Pat Metheny Group with Mark Egan on bass. Includes the fretless bass solo!

9th Chaka Khan and 9th Anthony Jackson transcription. Those fills in the Coda!! 😃 Chaka Khan - What Cha' Gonna Do for Me

No idea what they did here, but sometimes bands/musicians would slow down recordings. That's often the reason why a recording is 'between two keys'

Beautiful cover :

Mogens Seidelin’s upright bass line from Champion Jack Dupree’s ‘Everyday I Had The Blues’.

It's been a while since I posted a Joe Dart transcription. This one was released about 4 months ago. Fearless Flyers - Autobahn

If you could pick, what’s the one track you would choose?

Just a fun bass line Joy Crookes - Trouble | Rob Mullarkey

George Porter Jr. is still a very popular bass player The Meters - Little old Money maker

From ‘try a little’ to ‘all that I’m asking,’ Bernard Edwards’ funky bass on Diana Ross’ "Tenderness" is the perfect way to close this series.

From Pip Millett to the OG. Part 3 features Donald 'Duck' Dunn’s bass line on Otis Redding’s version of "Try a Little Tenderness".

Part 2 of my mini-series is here! This time, it’s Pip Millett’s soulful take on the Otis Redding classic, "Try a Little Tenderness". Pip Millett - Try a little tenderness | Lester Duval

More from the UK. This is part one of a four-part mini-series. If you like Raveena and Jorja Smith, you might like this one too. Pip Millett - Love The Things You Do

Your bass transcription library is empty without James Jamerson in it! The Supremes - My World Is Empty Without You

Someone sent me this transcription, I reviewed and reformatted it. Only afterward did I notice it was already on your website. I still have several others I’ve prepared in the past that I was planning to post, Tipatina's is just one example.

Smooth‑rock/pop from the early‑70s, tight vocal harmonies and a Jersey Shore/yacht‑rock vibe. Looking Glass - Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne | Pieter Sweval

I’ve had to pause accepting new contributions. I just don’t have the time to review them all properly. But every now and then, something special comes along that’s worth making an exception for. Bill Bruford - Fainting In Coils | Jeff Berlin

"Calling out posers and the vacuity of a lifestyle built on appearances rather than substance." Living Colour - Glamour boys | Muzz Skillings
