OK, now I know what happen. Couldn't figure out why every time I tried to go to bassmasta.net I ended up at Songsterr.

The info above was accurate. I downloaded the file and got it working on my browser. It took 15 hours for me to download it.

Thank you for this! I downloaded and followed the instructions and now have bassmasta.net available to me on my local drive in all its previous glory!

Bassmasta gone...boo

Downloaded the torrent myself, I was wondering about that this morning, when I was trying to find some NES tabs to interject real quick into a private party tonight.

I've used the new Songsterr for a few songs and its helped out tremendously. I've love to see more of the tab at once and be able to copy/paste but the monthly fee is too much for me...if that was for 6 months, I'd be all about it!

Songsterr is OK for some stuff but I've found the bass tabs have a lot to be desired. For example take Alice Cooper I'm 18, the bass tab in songsterr don't sound anything like the actual song. I hit the correct tab button and it wanted me to create an account. No thanks... I mean if the tabs were correct I might join up because it may be worth it, but not the way it is now...

I principle I agree with a site like songsterr, but if I didn't know better I might get all confused trying to learn some of the songs from there.

Like all the other TAB sites out there, Songsterr's TABs are hit or miss. Mostly I find that their TABs are pretty accurate. At least I can figure out which parts are wrong and wok around them.

I like the fact that you can play the midi along with the TAB so you can get a sense of the rhythm of the song. It's also helpful to hear the other instruments so you can hear how the bass fits into the song.

I guess any tab site is hit or miss, but, I happened to just go there to look at I Want You Back and it has a chart for it that is Way better than any of the sites. It's almost comical how screwed up some of the charts are out there for I Want You Back.

It's not perfect, but it's better than most TAB sites out there. When you have "regular" people submitting TABs to a site, it's gonna be hit or miss.

I used to use Bass Camera a lot, but got tired of the way he writes his TABs. He uses non-traditional symbols that makes it hard to figure out what's going on. For instance, he uses an "L" a lot, which I think means two notes tied togehter. Maybe it stands for "Long"? I don't know. Anyway, I don't think it's worth the $30 to register for it.

Songsterr, on the other hand, has more TABs (of varying quality) and offers Midi for all the instruments, which is really useful.
