I mean this with all respect because I'm still a ****** player on his way up, do you not think it's useful to tlisten to great bass players and learn their lines? I've struggled a bit with it myself because I'd rather just play down the tunes; but that is pretty much the one thing EVERYONE tells me when I say I want to learn to make more interesting lines.

Do whatever it takes. I'm not against transcribing at all, I just think it's over rated. You can listen and learn anything without writing it down, no? I can and so can many players...past and present. I don't have the musical tools to transcribe. I HAVE to rely on my ears.
EDIT: Holy ****, Flanning, we've gone off topic!!!!!!!! Can you imagine that?

Based on the title,
Aparent volume differences between solid and ply
I think the entire thread has been off topic.
And now, seeing it in context, I need to think of a more imaginative handle.

I will agree that Andrew Anderson's Lessons are great; but all of the other lessons for DB that I've found online have been, at best, useless and, at the worst, possibly damaging to good playing.
Flanning!!!!
