Bass Transcription Service
How Does It Work? 🤔
Send Me the Music
Not every bassline is online, and not every one is accurate either! I’ll transcribe your favourite bassline from that underrated artist, that special live show or even a solo. All I need is a link to the music.
I Transcribe by the Minute
My rate is based off the average UK hourly wage and I charge by the minute! In 2025 this is £18.64 / 60 = 31p per minute! This is the best way to calculate as transcriptions will vary on difficulty and length.
Receive a Beautiful PDF
Recieve a beautifully created PDF of the transcription. As well as: Musescore file, MIDI & MP3. I’m happy to accommodate any requests on format.

Customer Satisfaction
Every note is individually transcribed by myself. I use software that allows me to isolate the bassline via filters so I can increase accuracy. I always offer the sheet music or tab that best meets your requirements. The process is fully hassle-free and expertly managed by myself, an experience bassist.
I aim to deliver the highest calibre transcriptions and hopefully good customer service.Â
On demand, revisions, amendments, and transpositions are available. I value your satisfaction greatly, and want to ensure that you’re fully happy 🙂
I can even give you the isolated bass, and for that to even be reduced in speed for practice.

FAQs
What are the different ways to format the sheet music?
- TAB & notation: Shows how to play the music as well as what note values there are.
- Notation only: Only the notation to show rhythm and notes. Great for sightreaders.
- TAB only: Shows the fret positions and rhythms, but no indication of pitch.
This bassline is so hard to hear, do you think you can do it?
Challenge accepted 😎 I use software to help me filter and isolate the bassline. Let’s discuss and see if it’s discernible or not!
Who are you?
Hi, my name’s Howard Head and I’ve been playing bass for over 15 years as a professional freelancer and enthusiast. I’ve produced books and an online course, and I’ve had many people use my transcription service which is nice 🙂Â
I’d be happy to introduce myself via a call if you’d like.
Is there an option to include chord symbols?
Adding chord symbols can be added on request. For free if it’s simple, possibly not if it’s too complex. As the bass guitar’s role is to define the harmony, having the chords there can aid understanding, and even aid you memorise the song.
I only want a small portion to be transcribed, is that possible?
Absolutley, I only want to deliver what you want and no point paying for the entire transcription if you don’t want it! If this is the case please do feel free to provide timestamps.
How long will it take?
I do have a full time job and regularly gig, but I can usually complete it fairly quickly, say in 1-3 days.
