A final chart from the 1986 album of the same name, this is Jeff Berlin's complete performance of the title tune 'Pump It'. Not nearly as chopsy as the rest of the album, there is a challenging opening section on harmonics that requires some attention.

Have you put the wrong pic on this one Rob. ?

A GIRL playing bass? Who'd have thought it. This is Esperanza Spalding's bass part for the tune Bird Blue from the 2009 Mike Stern album, 'Big Neighborhood'. A very easy read, which is why I transcribed it not because it is ES at her best. She's a monster but I wanted something really easy to read today and this one appeared on a shuffled ipod.

A tricky little sucker, this is Alain Caron's bass part for 'Right After 4' from his 2013 'Multiple Faces' album. The main themes are accurate but the grooving solo sections are only approximations due to Alain's prolific and unpredictable use of ghost notes.

That's nice and Alain was one of the main reasons i went for my Overwater custom fretless 6er. Just wish i could play like him but i do try some of his fingerstyle lines. Not so much his slap technique cause i'm not very good at it.

Cheers for this one Rob.

Another monster Anthony Jackson bass part, this is the complete transcription of the tune, 'The Suitcase' from the 1984 Steve Khan album, 'Casa Loco'. There is one section I am not happy with in the middle, a mad octave thing in C.

Another one from a wasted childhood, this is the complete bass part for the first side of the Rush 'Hemispheres' album; 'Cygnus X-I: Book Two - Hemispheres'. Thanks to 'Transcribe' software and a YouTube 'isolated bass' video, I have got the bulk of it. There are a couple of passages that I am not entirely satisfied with but this will certainly get  you where you want to be in terms of playing the damn thing. A real eye-opener, the transcription really gives you a sense of how strong a player Lee was at that time and how the tunes are put together by Canada's finest.

From the 1986 It Bites album, 'The Big Lad In The Windmill', this is a complete transcription of Richard Nolan's bass part for the tune 'I've Got You Eating Out Of My Hand'. Some really interesting tricks and turns and a great sound, I really love his playing on this album.

Its worth sharing twice anyways. Brilliant band, saw them support Robert Plant and met Francis Dunnery in the lounge area after their set when he came over to our table and sat with us for quite a while chatting. Terrific guy and phenomenal player.
