    As usual, these charts have resulted from my personal preparation for gigs, writing band arrangements, and orders for bespoke transcriptions that have opted for the 50% discount rate for sharing!

    And, as usual, the website remains 100% open and free, thanks to everyone that has clicked the "Buy Me A Beer" button. This helps to go towards the domain and web hosting expenses - and I do enjoy a beer after a scorewriting session too!

    I'd like to think most bass players and bass communities are aware of this website, but do keep sharing please, it is appreciated.

    There's lots more stuff I need to chart for myself for upcoming gigs and shows this year, and the orders keep coming in, so I'm sure there will be plenty more charts added to the site through the summer of 2024!

  2. Bass players - here is your Christmas present from http://tomreadbass.co.uk **CHRISTMAS TUNES AT THE END OF THE POST**

    Over 100 charts added to the website today, taking the resource to a total of 1313 accurate bass transcriptions. And they remain completely FREE for you to help yourself. No sign-up or registration required, and no limit to how many you can access. Furthermore, thanks to the "Buy Me A Beer" donations from site users, the main transcription resource will continue to be free.

    Some of the newly-added charts are improved versions of previous ones, but most are brand new charts. I have written some of these as preparation for my own gigs, some as part of arrangements I have done for cruise ship bands, and the others were bespoke orders from online customers. They all opted to share their finished chart on the website, which meant they got the half-price deal.

    Here's the highlights from the new charts added:

    A very Merry Christmas from Tomreadbass Transcriptions !

  3. More bass transcriptions on http://tomreadbass.co.uk ! I've been transcribing a whole load for a new blues project I'm involved with, plus there's a couple I've done for website customers who opted for the half-price deal - meaning they too go on the site! 15 new ones in total, plus a handful more "refurbs"!

    So we're now up to 1233 FREE charts on the website - doesn't seem two minutes since hitting the 1000! And yes - all absolutely free of charge, with no log-on/registration required - or any limit to how many you can download.

    OK, the new ones:

  9. It surely must be time for another update to the FREE bass transcriptions resource at http://tomreadbass.co.uk ?

    Well YES! I have today completed a huge jobsheet of full band arrangements, and orders for bespoke bass transcriptions. Every single one of my clients opted for the 50% discount deal - which means their completed transcriptions get shared with everyone, for free, via my website!

    Additionally, I've been busy transcribing charts for myself, preparing for last minute dep gigs. So despite it being the quietest time of the year for gigging, there are no fewer than 21 new charts being added today, bringing the total to a whopping 1159!

    There's no registration, log-in or payment required, nor any limit to the number of charts you can download. Just help yourself to whatever you want.

    Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the hosting costs - and of course the "occasional" beer, via the "Buy Me A Beer" button - much appreciated! Thank you also to everyone who has shared the website with other bass players - please continue to do so.

  12. CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY - if you're a bass player needing some festive basslines that is!

  17. Just one new transcription going on the site this week, completing a bumper month for http://tomreadbass.co.uk/transcriptions

    "Steady As She Goes" by The Raconteurs - is in the set list for Saturday's gig, and I didn't know it - but I do now! In fact I vaguely recall it as I always thought it was the start of Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?"!

    Here's the chart - the 1084th free bass transcription on the site: https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_08858a016b1d464aae0c734a690b35a7.pdf

  19. Well it doesn't seem like two minutes since the last update to my bass transcriptions website - but I've upload yet another batch of charts this morning. This takes us now to 1078 bass transcriptions in standard notation (my website is a tab-free zone!), and not only is that (by far) the biggest in the world, but I make them all available free-of-charge with no registration or log-on required.

    I’ve been working on a couple of tribute projects – one for Pink Floyd, one for Coldplay. The Floyd charts include some classic basslines from iconic albums such as Dark Side of The Moon and The Wall. The Coldplay basslines are an interesting fusion dance/funk style playing with pop and rock.


    Another Brick In The Wall (part 1) - https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_451143127a1c4839a363912937446a44.pdf

    Another Brick In The Wall (part 2) - https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_7502563355b547c181f4e8c504d37380.pdf

    Another Brick In The Wall (part 3) – https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_ae45b58c124c4c4da5b224d20d63155c.pdf

    The Happiest Days Of Our Lives - https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_80a165f85b974c5c83180ba4fb810dda.pdf


    On Floyd’s “The Wall” album, Another Brick In The Wall (part 1), The Happiest Days of Our Lives, and Another Brick In The Wall (part 2) are presented as one continuous suite of music. I’ve done a chart for that too:


    Another Brick In The Wall (full suite) - https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_ce9c22c907454c77afbb3ddaa708fe15.pdf

    That still leaves a whole feast of new transcriptions I’ve written, mostly in preparation for dep gigs I’ve been called on. Some though were written ahead of a Bandeoke show with the Liam Read Band (where I’d had advance notice of what some people wanted to get up and sing), and some are bespoke transcriptions for my customers – who have agreed to have them published on the website.

    [NB – a small number of these are updates/display improvements to older charts, but the vast majority are brand new additions to the site]

  22. Big update just gone onto http://tomreadbass.co.uk Bass Transcriptions section. 31 new charts added, and now up to 964 charts in standard notation!

     

    All sorts of things added - 90s dance music, 70s rock, 60s rock & roll, 80s pop, classic soul - something for everyone! As usual, some of these have resulted from my own personal preparation for my gigs, while others have been customers' orders from the website for bespoke transcriptions where they have agreed to have the finished chart published for everyone's benefit.

     

    This resource - the biggest (by far) collection of bass notation in existence - remains completely FREE for all users. No membership or log-in required either. Just browse the site, find the charts you want, help yourself and download!

    Hi Tom, it must be me but, how do I download one of your notations from the pick list? 

     

    I select a song, a box appears with key, artist, date but, then I'm stumped. 

     

    I just know I'm gonna feel a complete idiot when I know how😄

    It isn't a pick list - it's just a look-up table to see whether a track is available.

     

    To access the charts, scroll to the bottom of the webpage and choose the first letter of the title.  It is all explained in the smallprint!

  24. Happy New Year from Tomreadbass Transcriptions!

     

    Three new charts added for your bass playing pleasure, taking the total to 935 FREE bass transcriptions in standard notation (not tab!).

    The Letter - Joe Cocker

    https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_55877858209c40788d163414ad6b8a6c.pdf

  25. It has become a Christmas tradition here at http://tomreadbass.co.uk to transcribe a bassline from a classic Christmas tune and add it to the free library on the website.

     

    This year, it is Greg Lake's 1975 anthem "I Believe In Father Christmas", an easy and simple bassline, but with the important nuances (like when it uses the 6th or the major 7th beneath the root) all charted out accurately.

     

    https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_8d0bbb3a3ad84528ac10fb9fd5ab2f52.pdf

     

    One other new addition - taking us to 932 FREE bass transcriptions (in standard notation) - is the funky bassline for "Walk The Dinosaur", a 1988 pop hit for the band Was Not Was.

     

    https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_f7342180f91647fda6828694673595d4.pdf

     

    A very Merry Christmas from Tom Read Bass Transcriptions!
