Bass tabs
Article by Maarten Tromp | Published , updated .
Introduction
As you might (or might not) know, I'm a bass player. Currently I'm band-less, so I mostly play along with other people's music. For many well-known songs it's easy to find good bass tabs online, however that's not always so with lesser-known songs. That's why I've started transcribing songs I like, that didn't have a proper bass tab available on the internet.
For years I had been doing this on paper, when it occurred to me that I could share those on my website. And by publishing the transcriptions online, there are now a few more bass tabs available for all my fellow bassists to enjoy. The list simultaneously represents some of my favourite music and bassists to play along with.
The older bass tabs are written in text, but since 2018 I've been using MuseScore. I'm slowly working my way through the old tabs, converting everything to the fancier new format.
Below you'll find a collection of bass tabs, and I'm regularly adding new ones as soon as I find inspiration and time.
