If I understand it correctly, GB will transcribe my midi piano input into standard musical notation. Am I able to do this with electric bass, and if so what is needed? Thank you!

Is there some sort of an interface that converts an analogue input (bass, guitar, what have you) into midi?
You need a midi pickup system...

Then you can convert the midi to a virtual instrument...
Cheers!

And from what I've read, it seems poor for bass. Our signals are easily misunderstood.
True I haven't tried it myself, but it would be cool for writing bass lines!
Logic does pretty cool scoring from midi.

Logic can analyze audio and turn it into a midi part, and hence a score as well. I'm pretty sure sibelius has this function as well. You can bet that both of these methods will need you to go in afterwards and edit any mistakes its made.
Melodyne is a very very powerful pitch editing program, and will do what you ask for very well, costs a bit though.
This technology is becoming more and more common so a lot of programs are starting to have this feature. You can also get programs which can show you the fundamental harmonics accross whole tracks now!

Thanks for the comment! I haven't tried that in logic.
Will soon though!!

Looks like the best bet is to continue honing my piano chops, and input anything I need scored via keyboard. And my keyboard's already paid for...

Have you done this? I have Logic and would like to see how
this is done. Can you point me to some info on this?
Yeah its easy, just double click on a region that contains a monophonic part, and in the wave editor go to 'factory>audio to score'. You can play around with the parameters and see what works best!
It works very well for some things and pretty badly for others. It can help to normalise the audio first so there are good transients for it to work off of. As in all of these kind of operations, you can expect to have to go in and clean up the edit afterwards but it does most of the leg work for you!
If this isn't working for you then melodyne is an amazing program that will do this with ease, as well as allowing you much more advanced tuning functions than even autotune. Melodyne will even do this with chords etc!
