After a long time of not adding anything to this thread. I've just shared 3 more:

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][url="https://1drv.ms/b/s!AoebdFx2FIAIhgBIyHPElrQfpDqY"]Autumn Leaves[/url] - G Major - The bass line to the well known jazz standard. To play the "tune" see the score in the "Advanced" section - it's not too advanced really[/size][/font][/color]

[url="https://1drv.ms/b/s!AoebdFx2FIAIhX8ER74YJKtI7xst"]Beauty and the Beast[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] - G Major [/font][/color]

[url="https://1drv.ms/b/s!AoebdFx2FIAIhgG7fh3TiGMpLATH"]I Could Have Danced All Night[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] - C Maj - From the hit Musical "My Fair Lady" - [/font][/color] - (This calls for a low C. If you don't play a 5, play it on the A string)

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Yes, I know; it's not really "bass playing", but it does mean we have more scores to learn to read with. I hope someone enjoys them.[/font][/color]

Hi folks.

I'm getting into reading, used to read guitar long ago and read drums so my rhythm reading is ok ish but I'm lost in bass clef.

I could really do with a book full of 1/4 to 1/8 note, simple melodies across all strings to program the note names into my head.

I'm playing what I've got rooted from the 7th fret, the book I have is good (simplified sight reading for bass) Hal Leonard, but it concentrates more on timing.

Could anyone recommend a book full of study pieces that concentrate on notes rather than timings.

I'm not looking for songs, I'm looking for exercises and studies.
Simple is good.

Cheers

The walking bass lines Grangur has provided seem to be a good start. Virtually no rythm, just pitches.

If you want more try one of these:
Walking in the footsteps of: Paul Chambers
Walking in the footsteps of: Sam Jones.
