I get nothing from watching someone else play. It's just a "learning mode" thing. I have to see it from my side of the neck.
I have taken to transcribing using the MP-BT1 bass trainer, setting the track to half-speed, and looping as necessary. In my opinion, this helps on several levels.
First, I have to get the notes, think about the rhythmic figuring. Then, I have to think about position on the neck, how it should be played.
Finally, it helps with general ear training.
Just my two cents (not Maki's).
