Big Book O' Bass Licks........

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been getting a little bored with my musical vocabulary lately. Is there a big book of bass licks anywhere? I know a lot of books have a few here and there but I have never heard of a book specifically of bass licks to freshen up ones musical vocabulary a bit.

Try activebass.com , they have some good free stuff.
I had a marc johnson book of jazz lick's which was helpful.
You could learn a few charlie parker melodies - there's hundreds of licks in each tune.
