[quote name='lobematt' post='1371691' date='Sep 13 2011, 12:53 PM']Woah that is high, you got the tab??
Haha only messin, quick (probably quite daft) question though... If this did go between bass an treble clef, would a C in treble still be a C on the bass, as in it doesn't get transposed just a different octave??[/quote]
No transposing of pitch involved, just different octavesC above the stave in Bass clef transposes to become the C below the stave in Treble clef

With the gear you've got listed in your sig? not a chance

I hope they get someone along the lines of Hellborg/Matt Garrison/Patitucci in to do a workshop/performance. I remember someone saying Garrison was going to be there last year but it never materialised

[quote name='Faithless' post='1368605' date='Sep 10 2011, 02:55 PM']Penguin, are you writing out the transcription on paper by hand first of all, or straight 'to the computer' (Finale, Sibelius, etc)?
The thing why I don't go crazy with ledger lines is just the amount of time it takes to mess with those ledger lines (think, count, write out in a way that's 'readable'), because most of the stuff I write down, I do it by hand first of all, and, to be honest, it's very rare to meet tunes notated that up high - it's way simpler to go to Treble Clef (once again, if you're doing it by hand..)
easy

sorry man, hadn't seen your reply before i postederm....sometimes i work straight into sibelius, but usually i do the rough transcription onto manuscript (mainly to get the notes/chords down) then write it up into sibelius. All the transcriptions ive been working on recently are onto manuscript then into computer, so my desk is a huge mass of half completed transcriptions
One of the reasons i used bass clef in this is that ive been looking at alot of Gwizdalas tutorials recently, and since theyre getting me into reading these high ledger lines i decided to transcribe this one using the ledger lines -
I approach it on a piece-by-piece basis. i chose to stick with bass clef in this case
-
IMO you'd be better off using the bottom 4 strings from a 5 string set as a starting point. Getting any definition from an E string when de-tuning below D (as i found out before i switched to 6 strings) is almost impossible on a 34" scale bass, even with a .110 E

Think of it as a way to familiarise yourself with ledger linesI usually use treble clef when transcribing solos. The bass solos in the Hiromi transcriptions im working on are all in treble clef

Here is my transcription of John Patitucci's "Tone Poem". If you want to check out the recording its on spotify, on the CD Line By Line

*note: You need either a 6 string bass or an E - C 5 string to play it in the original arrangement. if not, some parts will need to be played down an octave*
edit: Treble clef version now added -

Jonas Hellborg talking about sound. worth watching -
Seeing these list prices makes me really glad I jumped at the chance to buy my '97 streamer LX6 custom shop (many thanks again to mattbass6!!). As for them being unfashionable, my streamer is my first choice whenever I play jazz, soul and funk. Such a warm, 'woody' sound
some lovely examples cropping up on this thread!!

He's good, but for me, the bass (unless you go well into the realms of ERBs) will always be trounced by the chapman stick when it comes to tapping

With those materials and hardware, they were never going to be £300

[quote name='phil625sxc' post='1359605' date='Sep 2 2011, 10:51 AM']thanks for posting - I had to learn this by ear for an audition a little while ago so will be interesting to see how close I got it ! :-)[/quote]
Ahh excellent!! i'd be very interested to know how your version differs! i had to guesstimate a little with one or two parts so let me know whats differentive got alot more hiromi transcriptions in the pipeline (and one or two other bits and bobs) if you're interested!
-
Shes an absolute stunner mate, BIG congrats!

Fair enough, but i disagree, i see/hear plenty of emotion/soul in her music, and her bands performance of it. IMO of course

Here is my transcription of Hiromi's XYZ
This is transcribed from the studio version, but its very close to the live version. The main bass groove is a real mind-masher to play
[attachment=88350:XYZ_Bass.pdf] -
Dream Theater - Hells Kitchen, The Ytse Jam, Erotomania, The Dance of Eternity, Stream of Consciousness
Liquid Tension Experiment - (CDs) Liquid Tension Experiment, Liquid Tension Experiment 2
Planet X - Quantum -
You want Jazz? These are great
XYZ isnt exactly conventional but the bass groove is killer (and a killer to play)
-
heres a couple of great tunes
If you want something that breaks boundaries a little more.......look up Alien Hip Hop by Planet X -
Im really really happy with the setup im running at the moment, but money no object.......
My current Indie 606/Fodera Imperial II 33" 6 string/Shuker custom 33" 6
Warwick Hellborg preamp
Sansamp RPM preamp
Eventide Ultra harmoniser
Warwick Hellborg 500W stereo power amp
Warwick Hellborg 2x12 "hi cab"
Warwick Hellborg 1x15 "lo cab" -
If anyone is interesting in playing any of this material, im working on some bass transcriptions. ive just finished "XYZ" (see below), just need to write up "Summer Rain" and have started "Spiral" and "Old Castle, By the River, In the middle of a Forrest"
note: all my transcriptions are bass clef notation NOT tablature -
From my experience, Fender P should be your first port of call! The P necks ive noodled on wouldnt have been out of place in the hands of Kevin Pietersen

This is the MG Fodera they had displayed as THE MG Fodera on the website. As far I am concerned this is one of the most stunning basses I've ever seen. Sadly, I cannot afford the price tag. Best of luck with the sale!

I dont see this bass anywhere on the Fodera website :S the Garrison model on there has a buckeye top?
