Very simple – listen to the music and let your ears tell you when to play the notes on the tab

I’ll second that. Bass Tab Archive is one of the most complete ones I have found, with a lot of good quality tabs though I don’t use it much anymore, for reasons that are often discussed on this newsgroup

You were the one that said, and I quote: "Being that you don’t like Cannibal Corpse, you probably never gave a second thought to the bass.

Besides the fact that it was a JOKE, there are a few things you seem to have overlooked. 1. First you ASSumed that I was referring to Cannibal Corpse when I posted the "tab" that I did. How do you know I wasn’t referring to GG Allin? You don’t. 2. You ASSumed that I know nothing about death metal or death metal bassists. The fact is there are quite a few death metal bands that have good bassists. Corpse is one, Morbid Angel and Death are others. 3. It was a JOKE. 4. Just because a band has a good bassist doesn’t mean I have to like them. For me, I can’t stand the cookie monster vocals. Another example is that although I realize Les Claypool is a great bassist, I can’t stand his vocals and about 99% of his songwriting. Does that mean I can’t poke fun at him? Hell no. 5. It was a JOKE. 6. Because I disagreed with you, you automatically came out flaming. I don’t care how old you are on paper, but here that makes you look like a 12 year old throwing a temper tantrum. 7. It was a JOKE. It isn’t a good thing to ASSume anything about anyone.

Response:
does anyone have a URL that actually gives REAL bass tabs… i’m so bored of having only small parts of songs that r right and having to figure out the other half of the song by myself… it gets quite hard when you start playing difficult songs…

Sorry to get on your case, but with this crappy attutude you have, other more ambitious bassists are going to leave your ass in the dust. Figuring it out by yourself is one of the most valuable things you could possibly do!! Why do you use the word "bored"?? Playing something cool on bass that you’ve figured out is anything but boring! >it gets quite hard when you start >playing difficult songs…
Exactly! Are you up for the challenge of more advanced ear-training and musicianship??

Why would you use the word "bored"?? Playing something cool on bass that you’ve figured out is anything but boring. >it gets quite hard when you start >playing difficult songs…
Exactly! Are you up for the challenge to get that good?? Lots of bassists are.
Response:
actually, i really agree with you on this one…bass tabs are meant to encourage that type of thing, learnin bass lines YOURSELF!!! in fact, some ppl who tab intentionally only tab some of it to encourage that sort of thing…and if you are bored then try to figure something out! challenge yourself a little bit!! you’ll be able to play the song better and you’ll be more intelligent musically and with bass… but to answer your question…a perfect tab is pretty hard to come across anyways…i know i’ve seen only a few and all for easy songs. sorry i couldn’t help more…
