Bilbo's Transcription Archive

Another old one from the 1991 Kazumi Watanabe album, 'The Spice Of Life', this is the complete Jeff Berlin transcription of the tune 'Hiper K'. A lovely and, for once, playable bass solo is included. Final few bars are omitted as they are indistinct - I think he is playing round with the opening phrase but cannot be sure.

I spent an hour last night reading and tweaking my Jeff Berlin transcription of the tune Sample And Hold from the Bruford album Feels Good To Me. By the end, I could read the bass part behind the main theme. 

 

At 34% of the tempo JB plays it at.

Wee bit of practice and you'll get it.

For me that would be another 25 yrs. :laugh1:

A long overdue request from the website, this is Doug Ferguson's bass part to 'Never Let Go' from the first Camel album, released in 1973.

Would love to see the Live Record version with Richard Sinclair on bass. It was always my preferred version with lots of wee fiddly bits especially the bass solo.

Someone asked about the one; Rick Wills' bass part for the tune 'I Wanna Know What Love Is' from Foreigner's 1984 album, 'Agent Provocateur'. A lot more interesting a part than I though it would be.

@Reggaebass here you go. Cheers for this Rob.

Looking at it i can see what you mean. Lot more to it than i first thought too.

Well done sir.

Just a head this time. This is the legendary bass part for the opening head of the Jeff Watts arrangement of 'Autumn Leaves' that featured on the 1987 Wynton Marsalis album 'Standard Time: Volume One'. Anyone who knows this arrangement will understand the challenges in terms of playing, reading or even transcribing the line!

Well done Rob. Its a fantastic library and very much appreciated. I've been learning some amazing bass parts from your site. Things i would never have dreamed of learning in the past.

Many thanks

That's what it is there for, Dave.
