TorVic Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 This Spotify playlist called 'Definitive Dart' from Vulfpeck states: "Songs featuring Joe Dart. Whether it's his J-Bass with Rotosounds, his MusicMan with Thomastiks, or his P-Bass with LaBellas, you can always tell it's(sic) Joe Dart" [url="https://open.spotify.com/user/vulfpeck/playlist/7G1P3DBHojgmN5WOIJsNPw"]https://open.spotify.com/user/vulfpeck/playlist/7G1P3DBHojgmN5WOIJsNPw[/url] Quote

AdamWoodBass Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Just finished a transcription of the bass part if anyone wants a copy? Bit ropey as I have't transcribed for about 10 years but it'll do! Quote

interpol52 Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) I first heard this last night via the No Treble website. Stunning as ever. My first thought was that it reminded me of Teen Town. It was only this morning that I realised 'Dean Town' could be a play on words, something that is probably blindingly obvious to everyone else. I need some vitamins.

AdamWoodBass Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Here's the dots. Disclaimer, I'm super rusty at transcription as I haven't done it since uni so please excuse my spider sh*t! Also, before anyone goes all theory police on me: Yes I know I could have written repeat bars etc and have probably messed up the rests and articulations, it was 2am, I was on-call with work and I'm a Luddite when it comes to Sibelius so deal with it (in the nicest possible way of course!) https://www.dropbox.com/s/7iaic1lu14k936r/Vulfpeck%20-%20Dean%20Town%20-%20Bass%20Guitar.pdf?dl=0 Quote

I was literally going to sit down and transcribe it tomorrow on my day off! Quote
AdamWoodBass Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 You're welcome guys, I was on-call babysitting a customer system during some maintenance so had about 4 hours to kill in the early hours of the morning! Hopefully it makes sense, there will be some glaringly obvious errors in it I'm sure but hopefully you get the idea. Quote
chrisanthony1211 Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) My band have just decided to cover this, the transcription will be most helpful but I think i could be be busy for a while...... Edited October 15, 2016 by chrisanthony1211 Quote
AdamWoodBass Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I've been working on it for a couple of days now, there are parts of it that are pretty tricky just simply because it's a 16th note groove and every note needs to be bob on. The key to a lot of it is finding a fingering that works for you. I've been playing some of the runs a little differently in terms of fretting position to Joe Dart just because it feels more natural to my hand. Quote
bassjim Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) It took me 2 days to get the head right but have it nailed now. I too changed the fingering in a few places. Great tune to learn. Not even nearly as hard as Teen Town or other Jaco things, but very satisfying once you have it down. I find the single note 16ths at the beginning a lot more challenging though. The middle section where its all 16ths with lots of added fills looks like a right beast. Edited October 17, 2016 by bassjim Quote

I spotted a few things I thought I had just perfect till I had a look at this. thanks very much Quote
AdamWoodBass Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I actually found the hardest bit was the bit after the head where the bass is just sat on that 16th groove but then puts in the fills, that's where I tend to trip up and fall behind the beat. I've pretty much got it down but not as tight as I'd like when playing at tempo. Quote
AdamWoodBass Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Has anyone listened to the new album yet? It came out on Spotify yesterday and I was having a listen this morning on my way to work. Really liking it so far. Quote
