Hi Dave

I have the midi file which you can open in some music software like Cakewalk and you can display the bass staff in there na d see the notes. Any good to you? A wonderful bassline for sure from one of the most creative bass players ever.

Oh Man...,
I've been trying to pick out Mick Karn's bass lines since the 80's - Let me warn you - a good many of the notes he plays are not exactly 'normal' notes. They kind of lie somewhere between 'proper' notes... great fun to play, infuriating to figure out. Its a bit like trying to play Derek Trucks' slide lines verbatim... well tricky. I guess thats why you wont find many (if any?) decent tabs for them. Let me know if you find any - I'd love to see someones interpretations.

Mak.
