Ricky Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Can anyone give some advice please, Do you know any sites that i can use to convert bass tab into sheet music please. Why i'm asking is a good freind of mine wants to get a tattoo, and she wants to use one of my bass lines but seeing as i cant read or write music only tab its a little difficult to design for her, if anyone can help it will be much appreciated.

Even if you don't know ANY notation, you can play with note durations until you get itsounding the way it should... and the notation will reflect that.

arthurhenry Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Why not just tattoo the tab? It's almost as though you feel it's inferior to notation. (Cheeky, Smiley face). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Assuming she's only going to get a few bars done you could probably work it out yourself in less than an hour and be better for it. Just remember good bassists deserve fine arse (The GBDFA on the lines of the stave, and the other notes in between). Took me 20 minutes to learn the fundamentals of notation and how to work out notes. Edited July 24, 2011 by Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 You couls always post the tab on here. There are probably lots of people who would do it for you As posted above, it must only be a few notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Personally if you are to do this I'd get together with someone who can read and write notation, and have them make sure it's correct, using any software or web tools is to risky There are plenty of blokes with oriental tats that don't translate as they believe, you don't want a musical version of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
