  1. OK fellow bass players.  I've just done my first update of 2019 and uploaded a new batch of 30 bass transcriptions to the website.  I've also made a few improvements to a handful of the existing ones.

    They are all completely FREE for you to download or view - please help yourselves.

    http://tomreadbass.co.uk

    To see which the new charts are, type "Feb 2019" into the search box!  We've got new bass transcriptions for Jefferson Starship, Mumford & Sons, Manic Street Preachers, Ocean Colour Scene, Deep Blue Something, Simon & Garfunkel, Green Day, Blur, Killers, Coldplay and many more!

    We're now up to 651 free bass transcriptions - the biggest resource of its kind in the world.  I found out yesterday that bass tutors around the world are using my site for learning resources for their students!  I thought that was rather cool.

    Please do share this information, and let your fellow bassists know about this resource.

  2. Merry Christmas from tomreadbass.co.uk - the biggest free online bass transcriptions library anywhere on the web.

    Every year at this time, I choose a classic Christmas hit to add to the site, and this year it's Wham!'s "Last Christmas", on which the bassline was played by George Michael himself.

    Here it is:

    Furthermore, a total of 17 new FREE bass transcriptions have been added to the website this evening. All sorts of things from Tower of Power to Frank Sinatra, Beatles, Major Harris, KC & The Sunshine Band and Status Quo - and many more!

    The library stands at 623 free bass transcriptions in standard notation, and fellow bass players can simply help themselves to any chart they need.

    Bespoke chart writing and tabbing services are available, with big discounts - see the website for further details.

  3. Now up to 606 free bass transcriptions on the website.  A couple of Northern Soul anthems in the new batch, plus Omar's classic "There's Nothing Like This".  I also wanted to transcribe the bass part for Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here" - but decided to do it directly from the Leonid & Friends recording rather than the original due to the superior audio quality.

    Here it is - https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/238d8f_19537bb0194a4ddaa24605051259e2b2.pdf

    The other six newly uploaded charts, all 606 free bass transcriptions, and details of my bespoke transcribing, arranging and tabbing services - plus of course me-the-bass-player - please visit the website:

  4. 18 new bass transcriptions just uploaded to http://tomreadbass.co.uk taking the library to a total of 593 bass guitar charts, all in standard notation. And they're all FREE, so please help yourselves.
     
    New items include a disco anthem from Yvonne Elliman, a couple of soul/funk classics from Tower of Power and many more in all sorts of genres.
     
    Bespoke transcribing / transposing / arranging / tabbing services all available too - see the website for details.
     
    (And still available for a gig tonight due to a cancellation...)

    That's an amazing collection of transcriptions. Thanks for making them available. You don't know how helpful this is.

    I probably do, as the vast majority were written by me to help me on some upcoming gig or other!  And written, usually, because I couldn't find one online myself!  Glad you like them.

  6. Just added a batch of 30 new bass transcriptions to my website. Now 575 bass charts on there - and all free - so reading bass players, help yourselves with my compliments (and please share!)
     
    The recent surge is as a result of my own prep for various gigs (Motown, Frankie Valli, Robbie Williams etc) and customers who have taken advantage of my half price offer - if they allow me to publish the transcription I've done for them on the site. It seems everyone is happy to save themselves a few quid and help out their fellow bass players!
     
    There has been a slight price increase for the transcriptions made-to-order which had been frozen at the introductory level for three years.  However, the price is now inclusive of currency conversion charges and other PayPal fees.
     
    The main library of 575 bass transcriptions, remains completely and utterly free though, of course.

  7. Ha ha, thank you.  I was astonished to see that it was misspelled in both the look-up table, and on the links on the 'P' page!  Both corrected now.

    A new batch of bass transcriptions coming soon.  I'm pretty certain this is the biggest free bass notation website in the world, and it is very gratifying that fellow bass players are so appreciative of the resource.
