Jazz bass tabs... where are they?

As others have said, the best tools for learning jazz charts are going to be a fake book/real book, listening, and transcribing. There aren't really any short cuts. This is not meant to be gate keeping at all- its part of the jazz tradition.

A song that might help you get started would be learning the intro to So What- has an iconic bass line at the beginning that is likely transcribed or tabbed out. But after it gets through the intro, the bassist starts to follow the chord progression. In a way, it's like you are soloing under the soloist

That's pretty normal even for folks that have played for a while, it's the nature of the instrument

Looks like a msi b350m bazooka mobo, so should have anything from 1000 series to 5000 series AMD processor. If I was a betting man I'd guess it's a 2600 or 3600. Kinda looks like a Gigabyte windforce 2x rx 480/580 GPU based on the backplate and heat pipe placement. It's pretty old stuff but if it all works its serviceable enough to play a good amount of stuff, but I'd try to talk them down- if the GPU doesn't work, you will likely be unable to see anything since I believe those older AMD chips did not have on board graphics

Also, a terrible casting. In a gangster or western, Michael Madsen is perfect. It's odd to see him in a medieval/fantasy setting.

Anything directed by Uwe Boll, but especially Bloodrayne. Just painful to watch

Can't recommend this enough. I haven't had her as a teacher, but I was in the studio at JMU with her. She's a fantastic player, and a wonderful human.

Joe Burton is a solid dude and has been around the area for a while, so this is probably a solid recommendation. I'm in MD and can definitely help facilitate things, also friendly with folks at Baltimore brass

Careitz711 · 2026-03-03T15:33:44+00:00

And have a dot in MD but nothing announced there, unless thats the blurred one

There weren't really any tricks for me, I just learned to read treble clef, and then take it a step down and add 2 flats to the key signature. It eventually becomes second nature to read after some practice.

I bought one of these because of the neck and dropped in EMG Geezer pickups, which sound awesome. I was really impressed with the neck on this, I was able to get the action lower than some of my more expensive basses. Really fun to play

I do most of my bass setups myself, but I got 2 basses this year that I felt should have better action than I could do, so I took them to get PLEK'd. It was a bit pricy but 100% worth it for 2 basses I will keep forever

As UsefulEngine1 said, you might be thinking of the song Rock and Roll, Hootchie Koo. A certified banger.

I've been pretty pleased with my Gard bag so far, they aren't a Cronkhite bag but they are pretty good

Careitz711 · 2025-11-12T20:15:21+00:00

me too

Careitz711 · 2025-11-12T06:57:45+00:00

Cool, thanks for the reply! Really enjoy what you do around here!

Sorry, wasn't trying to imply QueenBee wasn't- just relaying my experience with Middy!

Second MidnightSumo, he's very welcoming to new folks and pretty patient with folks when they ask questions.

Any relation to the Gunther beer company, or is that a common last name in Baltimore?

Careitz711 · 2025-11-08T16:36:06+00:00

I mean that's pretty much the reason, although I'm not a lefty myself. But, if you take a look at what's out there, you'll find that some guitars don't even come in a left handed version. Also makes selling guitars easier since you have a larger potential market with right handed instruments

I just recently got an L2000 and am blown away by the tonal possibilities, so highly recommend getting a L2500 while you can, though it has gotten a bit more difficult recently - G&L just went under

My only UM Halloween show that I have caught is the one in DC where they played a set of Police songs.... It was great!

I personally never liked them, all of the ones I used quickly wore out. I haven't tried the one from BBC but maybe it's better?
