You're supposed to tune a bass? You must have new strings.

You're supposed to play a bass? I thought it was just for holding your cowbell.

Back in the day, I'd just throw on an Aerosmith song. They always tuned to 440, and it was easy to get a low E and tune harmonically from there. Can't help ya with Jazz though.

I just tune the fat string to sound like that old Mustang® Steve McQueen drove.
The rest are drones.
I use Fender® Bullets®... of course.

It's been my experience that walking bass lines lead, inevitably, to watching the bass player fall off the stage.
Good times.

I never had the CD...that would have been cool. Lot's of good stuff in my real book. It's very old so not sure it's the same as yours. It's also been a while since I looked at it... I guess around the same time I was into Steve Morse/ Dixie Dreggs that Mike posted a video of I was learning quite a few tunes out of the real book...so kinda weird the threads show up.

Oh I am gonna have fun learning this - My theory is string and I all ready theoretically understand walking lines and arpegios between chords - Plus I played sax and studied improv for years - so I think this is going to go fast but fun - and as much as I love rock n roll and that style and genre will always be close and top to my heart its a relief to relax and listen to some bebop and or smooth jazz sometimes and play hopefully i'll be someone what of a bass player in demand and gig regularly soon - typically I form the band and do the bookings myself and I am just too tired for it call me if you want me to play and I'll be there -- YOU do the bookings and get the players - I am too tired anymore

Mooch I remember I was kinda surprised that mine
had charts of tunes that I really wouldn't have considered
as jazz standards but I admit I'm not good with genre's.
I'm at work and going from memory....stuff like
Zappa- "Song For My Father"
Beck- 'Pork Pie Hat"
Chick Corea..."Light As A Feather"...and more
Just a great book and it seems "jazz standards" could
detour some...of course I could be wrong too.
It just seemed "standards" were more in the kind of "Stella By Starlight" etc.
(which is in the book)
I was disappointed back then that mostly it's just the
head and changes. Today there is much better available
in complete transcriptions which include not only the solo's
but good notes about the theoritical thinking behind them
for those without somebody to help fill in spaces.
