Thanks! I look a bit different these days, haha. 👴🏻 My P-bass (still the only I've had) is a Fender Classic 50s vibe*, bought from this very forum in 2010 I think. It's probably my most recorded bass, every engineer I've worked with has loved it. *Is that the model? I can't find it online anymore. It's Mexican-made, and was highly sought-after at the time - I think they were mostly made around 2007.

Updated an old transcription! Now available in standard notation and tab (and corrected some errors). Jamiroquai - Mr Moon [notation / tab] Original bass: Stuart Zender Transcriptions archive

Been a while since my last transcription! Here's a classic that's been done many times. However, I just wasn't happy with the quality of some of the transcriptions I could find out there, so when a student requested this one, I quickly put together my own transcription. Queen - Another One Bites The Dust [notation / tab] Original bass: John Deacon Transcriptions archive

The Meters - People Say [notation / tab] Original bass: George Porter Jr. Love this tune. A lesson in understated funk. My go at it is slightly less understated, but it's just so fun to fill over! Transcriptions archive

Coldplay - Adventure of a Lifetime [notation / tab] Original bass: Guy Berryman Had to learn this one for a gig. Although the bassline remains almost the same throughout, there's that one fill that sounds a bit like Bernard Edwards. Transcriptions archive

Ah thanks! Glad you like the approach.

Pretty sure Louis Johnson played 'Sunset Driver', an MJ b-side, with this tuning.

John Legend feat. BloodPop - 'A Good Night' [notation / tab] Original bass: Ely Rise (keyboard/programmed) Another wedding request. Tailor-made to be a first dance, which is a bit cynical tbh, but that's how the industry works! Original bass is definitely a virtual instrument played on keyboard, which means some of the jumps are a bit tricky if played on electric. A bit repetitive too... but hopefully other bass players will find this when in need of a quick chart at some point! All other transcriptions here

Thanks!

Rudimental feat. John Newman - 'Feel The Love' [notation / tab] Original bass: Renell Shaw (breakdown only - the rest is programmed synth) Decided to transcribe this one as it's a request at a wedding I'm playing this week. Synth interpreted for bass guitar with octave pedal and other FX for the majority of the song, then clean electric bass for the breakdown. All other transcriptions here

Lizzo - 'Juice' [notation / tab] Not sure who the original bass player is! Two people credited on the album, so it's either Nate Mercereau, Ricky Reed, or both! Short video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9F1gMnyb2/

Cory Wong feat. Tom Misch - 'Cosmic Sans' [notation / tab] Original bass by Cory himself. A few overdubs, so in the transcription and the video I've collated everything into one part. All other transcriptions here

We've all heard it a million times, but a student of mine just got a 5-string and I found the isolated bass track. Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - 'Uptown Funk' [notation / tab] Original bass by Jamareo "Jam" Artis All other transcriptions here

Ahhh it just came back to me. Stella! GLWS. -
Sounds lush Tiernan! I'm after a fretless at the moment, but this is out of my budget for now. What's the jazz standard you're playing in the second clip? It's on the tip of my tongue, can't quite remember it....
-
Teena Marie - 'I Need Your Lovin' [notation / tab] Original bass by Allen McGrier. Great bassline! The bass part and the song in general sound to me like something Rick James would write, which makes sense as he was Teena's mentor. Video here, although unfortunately WMG have blocked it in most countries. If you have a VPN, go wild!

Cheers Tom! Good couple of bits of advice.

Hi guys, A student of mine needs to work on getting more consistent rest strokes. He’s come from playing guitar, so quite often he’ll pluck a string without landing firmly on the one below. Often this results in a lot of undefined notes, and it affects his tone a bit. He also tends to play more with the tip of the finger, whereas it’s generally better to play a little further down the finger to get a solid tone. I’ve suggested concentrating on just the plucking hand, doing some steady alternate strokes up and down the strings whilst muting with the fretting hand. That’s all fine, but it’s not the most stimulating exercise. I was wondering if any of you guys can suggest any other exercises for working on this. Would be much appreciated if so!
