Bass Transcriptions
Accurate, detailed bass transcriptions created by a professional bassist with over 20 years' experience.
I've produced transcriptions for professional musicians including Dirk Lance, Phil Chen, Rutger Gunnarsson and Emeli Sandé, as well as hundreds of musicians and institutions.
Got a gig or tour coming up and need your parts ready?
Need a song transcribed, a difficult section worked out, or a bass line written down exactly as it was played? I can create an accurate, detailed transcription from the original recording.
Whether it’s a complete song, a single riff or a section you’ve never quite been able to work out, I’ll provide clear notation and tablature that you can use to learn, perform or teach the music.
TRANSCRIPTION PRICING
£12 per minute of recorded music

The final price may vary depending on the complexity of the transcription and any additional requirements.
This can be broken down as you like, whether it's a full track, a collection of riffs or simply your favourite moment.
Detail
Capturing articulation, phrasing, dynamics and the small details that make a performance unique.
Accuracy
Carefully transcribed by ear and checked against the original recording.
Musicality
Understanding the feel and intent of the performance, not simply identifying the notes.
