Tab alone just doesn't cut it. Transcriptions have and continue to be so helpful in developing my small but growing knowledge of lines and styles. When I started playing bass whatever I learnt was by ear. Then I got some bass instruction books and my first transcription book about Jaco Pastorious - from zero to hero! Not exactly a gradual introduction ;) Fast forward past many bass-less years to this past 12 months when I got into the bass again, bought a couple and started learning riffs and complete basslines from transcriptions, both bought and free online resources.
