Please check out my Ain't no Sunshine arrangement. If you want to have a go yourself here is the tab/notation: Ain't no sunshine bass

As far as I can tell this is the 1st attempt at a Bass Guitar cover of this popular classical piano piece. I was originally playing it finger style but went with a plectrum in the end. The arrangement works for both styles. You can find the tab/notation here: Divenire Bass

I think I have every note from the original. It's a funny little bass line. The tab is in the you tube description or you can just get it here: Family Guy Opening Theme Bass

Due to lock down I had to take some resources home for work. One was the Standing in the Shadows of Motown bass guitar book. Here is Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing exactly as it is transcribed from the official notation. Essentially many bass players question when exactly did Jamerson use...

It contains the piano melodies verse and chorus. It's a nice simple arrangement. You can download the tab as a PDF here: Mad World Bass or find it in the youtube video description.

Hi I'm Neil, this is my 1st post so please be nice. A few years ago I bought a Spector Rebop with the tone pump pre to use as a down tuned metal recording bass whilst using a pic. I loved it for plectrum style metal. Now I don't do much metal and I play with my fingers. I am struggling to get...
