What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

12 x 9 inch page size

Standard songbook format. Wide enough to hold a page open on a music stand without constant flipping.

Detail 02

Print book, no audio disc

No backing tracks or reference recordings. You play against the original recordings or on your own.

Detail 03

Hal Leonard imprint

Licensed transcriptions, so the parts follow the actual recorded bass lines rather than simplified approximations.

Detail 04

ISBN 9781617806018

Lets you confirm you have this exact edition when comparing sellers or ordering a replacement copy.

Detail 05

Under $25

Cheaper per song than buying individual sheet downloads once you use more than a handful of charts.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No CD, download code or backing tracks are included
  2. 02A music stand helps; the binding does not lie flat unaided
  3. 03Check the song list first, as titles vary between bass anthologies

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does it have tab or just notation?

It is written in standard notation with tablature, the usual Hal Leonard bass format. You can read from the tab alone if you do not read notation.

02Is there a CD or audio included?

No. This is a print book only, with no disc or download card.

03Is this good for a beginner?

It is a song collection, not a method book. You need basic left and right hand technique and the ability to follow tab before it is useful.

04What size is the book?

12 by 9 inches, the standard songbook page size, so it fits a normal music stand.
