i cant help you find the transcription, but it was ron wood that played bass on that track iirc.

Can't help, but I love the signature! Wish there were more K's fans in the US, particularly around here. Amazing talent in those Bettens!

SoCom,
It's a great pleasure playing for those crazy Belgians. I'm glad you like "the stuff". Check out Sarah's new solo disc. I played on 5 tunes, with the great Brady Blade on drums. I hope you like it, too.

narud,
Are you sure? Wow, the guy can play. I hate it when guitar players kick ass on bass.

Still looking for the transcription, BTW.

...and very nicely too, I might add. Ronnie's basswork is kind of overlooked, but I thought he was consistently very good and played on a number of great records back in the day.

Yep, it was Ronnie that played bass on Maggie May. Pretty good job,too, if you ask me.

Pre-Every Picture Tells A Story...
Wood was the bassist for the Jeff Beck Group; Rod Stewart eventually landed the gig as the lead vocalist.
Check out Truth & Beck-Ola.

I have seen a transcription to "Maggie May" in one of those "Guitar" magazines(Guitar or Guitar World)...that was probably 10 years ago, though.
