I'm probably just making excuses for myself but ISHST would be easier to play on a short scale bass like a Hofner than say a big fat necked Precision

Probably true but I suspect the Chuck Berry Talkin Bout You original may have been Willie Dixon on upright.

[/quote]just checked it out, doesn't sound like a double bass to me, and it's in C which means there's some open strings in there which makes it easier to play, it is the same as ISHST (apart from that's in E) but it's a pretty generic rock and roll bass line so Talking about you probably wasn't the first song to use it

I know what you mean , it's the string skipping of the quavers on beats 2 and 3 don't quite fall under the fingers, macca played it with a pick of course and I think this adds to the smooth articulation. Fairplay for learning all this stuff mate , there's so much to be learned from detailed transcription especially of one of the masters
