Bass notebook - little request which I’m stumped on!

[Minininjarob]

I would like a blank notebook with bass (4 lines) staves printed on so I can make my own tabs for songs I’ve been practising. 
Here’s the problem - I want it to lay flat so ring/spiral bound. Can’t see the point in one that doesn’t lay flat!

Size not very important. 
I have wrangled with Google for half an hour now and I can’t believe I can’t find one!

Why not get one with blank or checkered paper and draw your own bass tab lines with a straightedge and a pen?

 

Checkered paper would make it easy to draw straight lines with a straightedge, but at the same time not get in the way of the lines, especially if it is blue print and the pen you use is black.

I use a tab pdf and print lots off , then I hole punch them and put them in a folder , a notebook would be handy though

Get a 5-string and use conventional music paper.

I just got in here to point that exact fact out!

Or just use a 4-string and conventional music paper but ignore the bottom staff line.

I use 5mm graph paper for tabs, as there's no need to even draw any lines. It's easy enough to find spiral-bound books of it.

Use conventional music paper and play in the spaces…

You have to ignore the top line or it will sound wrong. 😂

If you have access to a printer, you could download this:

Print as many copies as you like and then take them to your local print shop, where you should be able to get them spiral bound.

No, lowest line = lowest note string, n'est-ce pas?

This is what I would do. 

 

Alternatively there are online services who can print and bind. Probably your local people would print cheaper.
