TABs or Sheet Music for J.C. Superstar?

Hey all,

My New Years resolution to myself is to get through the bass parts to the entirety of the 1970 Jesus Christ Superstar album.

Allen Spenner's lines are amazing! Now that i have a new P bass, my motivation's been kicked up a few notches.

I found a transcription to "What's the Buzz", and I've pieced together by ear some of the other songs... but, some of the fills are tricky.

This guy's videos have been a big help ( http://www.youtube.com/user/solowbass ), but i'd like something a bit more substantive.

I'd GREATLY prefer something i can view online or download. I can deal with TABs or sheet music, whatever!

Thanks!

I converted a MIDI file to get that "What's the Buzz" score.
It appears that most, if not all, of the J.C. Superstar files are
available as MIDI online.

I don't have time to do them all but pick the next tune and I'll
see if I can make a score for you.

I played this years ago...we had the charts but the transcription was very loose (or rather Allen's playing was embellished) so I went ahead and learned most of the signature lines by ear.

Bass Player magazine recently had this tune in an issue.
Check it out.
