For every type of bass player
I’m having a blast with this book. I’m a hard rock guy but grew up with most of these songs playing in the house. The documentary “Standing in the shadows of Motown” brought me to this book and brought a new found appreciation for this music. A true study for any bass player. Some songs are difficult but not out of reach. Getting your swing time right makes these songs so rewarding to play. This book and the aforementioned doc are both Highly recommended!!

Excellent book with accurate bass tabs and annotation
Great music book specifically for bass players, with very easy to read tabs and musical notation. I really appreciate that the first song in the book is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" -- nothing like digging in with Jamerson on the very first song. Great purchase.

Great tool for aspiring players!
I'm pretty impressed withe transcriptions. I have used the "Bass Bible" and youtube to learn the lines as they were recorded and commit them to memory. There's always nuance to a session player's feel, but this is a great collection of transcriptions.

Transcription quality is here
Part of my goal as a R&B, funk and jazz player is to learn from the greats that came before and to that I end I'm studying Jamerson. I bought "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" specifically for the transcriptions and bass tracks. I have to say many of the tracks only approximate what James was doing and I found it somewhat disappointing. Case in point, "What's going on" shows up here and in the motown book and this transcription is MUCH better, though it misses some of the ghost notes and sixteenths here and there. That's OK, I learn the music using the recording plus the notation so I note the discrepancies. Another brilliant song and bass part is "I was made to lover her". This is one of the best transcriptions I have found for any song. The rhythms are spot on. Only one glaring error is about 4 or 5 F#s that should be D# or (Eb) in the notation. It's a consistent error, so easy to correct where it arises. I gave it 4 stars, but as I get through other transcriptions I may bump it up to 5.

Product great, everything you need. The only thing is package delivered by USPS and took forever to received. Was lost and went around the world.

Motown at its best.
As a bass player of a certain age playing in a covers band I am always looking for songs with a great bass line or hook,this book is full of them. I was a Motown fan back in the day and it makes a nice change to play a bit of Marvin Gaye in the set as opposed to Elvis,The Beatles,Stones etc.You will not be disappointed with this book.

R&B Bass Bible
Questo libro contiene tantissimi pezzi che fanno fatto la storia del soul e dell' R'N'. Penso sia un ottimo inizio per chi voglia approcciarsi a questo genere. Il prezzo è onestissimo!

Good collection of R&B Motown Bass Tabs.
Supplements the online tabs and stops you surfin' when you should be practicing. Most of the greats included and a good Motown start so you can start getting more out of the online Tab's DOH!!!. Or even better helps you listen to the original recordings. Ordered the Funk Bass Bible on the strength of this. Shame no multi-postage savings but even so very good value.
