I might include Good Vibrations in a conversation regarding the perfect song.

The bass solo on Got the Time is an all-time great.

I’m going with the unconventional but obviously-correct answer: Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac. It’s not flashy but you know every single person who hears it - bass player or not - is leaning back, flashing a bass face, and hitting those two specific notes on their air bass. You know the ones...

I listen to any of the 80s rock songs like this and think “That poor bass player, what a boring job.”

When the bass guitar part simply mirrors the guitar part minus one or two octaves? For example, Whole Lotta Love (Zeppelin) or almost any 80s hair band rock song?

I’ll have to measure mine when I get home from work tonight but I’m going to guess “no way” on fitting in a regular guitar bag. I do like that the Warmoth short scale bodies are also downscaled. I always thought the standard Fender-style bass bodies were absurdly large.

Yes, I’ve been selecting the “skip stem separation” box since I’ve been doing my stem separation in Logic Pro and uploading only bass-isolated tracks to Elite Bass Tabs.

I’ve been testing Elite Bass Tabs and have every hope it turns out well because I really, really want an AI bass tab generator that works, but it’s surprising how much better the human ear is over AI still. With isolated bass tracks it still gets a lot of notes wrong or misses them entirely...

Agreed. Sterling screwed this up. The blue should come with the roasted maple fretboard and the red should have the dark fretboard.

We need a master list of medium scale stings too. One will always be able to buy/build a medium scale bass, but to me the biggest worry is a lack of strings to choose from or experiment with.

I’ve been using Logic Pro for stem separation to create play-along tracks, but I’m not familiar with using it to convert audio to actual notation using MIDI. Is this something you’ve had to learn yourself or are there tutorials out there on this exact process?

I’m anxiously awaiting this new site. I hope it lives up to its billing. https://elitebasstabs.com/

For those of us medium or short scale aficionados, Warmoth is often the only game in town.

Agreed. My family used to eat salmon all the time. Not anymore. It’s gotten insane.

Every time I look at these the prices have climbed even higher. Getting real close to $5k (!!!) now!
