This Meshell groove is outrageous! Thank you for working on the transcription. She is an all-time hero. Her album Comfort Woman is chock full of brilliant reggae, dub, and funk basslines. Curious about your thoughts if you go down that route one day.
I might, but there's soooo much good music to transcribe
I had to get this earworm out of my system

Chris,
I like that you are following to new music.
Listening and analyzing new (good) music helps with my aging.
Thank you.
A transcription of this 3-chord classic from the 80s is now online.
Tom Petty - Free Fallin' | Jeff Lynne
Tom Petty - Free Fallin' | Jeff Lynne
A lot of TB members use the 5 (or 6) string bass in order not to change the fretting hand positions.
But Jeff Lynne was not afraid of doing so. By doing so, Jeff was able to incorporate lots of smooth glissandi in his bass-line.
Yep, it's full of slides. But, it looks like I forgot to notate them
