Hi everyone,

 

I’ve created a couple of transcription books, with accompanying backing tracks, as a way of showing the kind of tracks we work on in my bass classes called ’ The Bass Vault’. Free to download and with only minimal contact afterwards - don’t worry about being spammed to death afterwards, that’s just not my style. Anyway, thought they’d be of use to fellow bass-chatters, enjoy! Ian

Would be lovely to receive some idea of your offer. Theoretical approach, scales, songs...?
