Resources for Bass players

Here on Just The Riffs you'll find a collection of free, professional quality, interactive Bass Tabs spanning a variety of Artists, Genres and Styles. In the near future I'll be adding in some essays on Theory and Deep Dives into specific Riffs looking at how and why they work.

I hope you'll enjoy using this site and it's resources.

Get searching through the Genres and the Artists to find something you might like. New material will be added as often as possible, real life permitting, so make sure to check back regularly.

Testimonials

"Jack's tabs are second to none. He's made them as easy to read as can be and didn't skip out on any details.

"10/10 would use again."
Saul
Painkiller by Judas Priest
"I was transcribing the bass line from a song by the 1975 when I encountered some strange frequency information around a set of notes in my DAW.

"I looked to the regular internet sources, but they were largely in conflict with one another and were definitely not helping in resolving the question. JustTheRiffs not only helped resolve the question, but provided me with both 4 & 5 string fretting for the full song."
George
Robbers by The 1975
"Thank you very much for your help with the Overkill tab, my friend. You've done an excellent job. I'd love to see all the Overkill tabs you have. Greetings and respect."

"Great service, great guy. Tabs were spot on and really helped me out of a musical hole. Quick turn around and he genuinely seems interested in what he is transcribing, even if my request was a bit niche."
Dave
A Christmas Duel by The Hives
"Was looking all over the place for tabs from the Eddie and the cruiser soundtrack finally threw a flag up on a Facebook page and Jack kindly threw them together for me and they came out awesome; didn’t want anything in return other than to know how they turned out.

Thank you so much!

Jack, mate, your transcription is great, very professionally laid out and I think you're bang on for the lot!!

You nailed his run in the Pre-Choruses (it's not the same as the Guitars) from what I can tell, seems that shape is easier for him to play around and he probably wanted to put his own spin on it rather than just follow the guitars. I think what I worked out for that part mimics the guitars more.

You've put the time into figuring out what is actually going on, so well done. Killer dude 🤘

This is a great site. Jack was super helpful. I was searching for tabs that didn’t seem to exist anywhere on the internet.

Jack was able to create them for me. They’re super accurate and easy to read. I highly recommend this site.

Jack is very professional and friendly and he’s great at writing accurate tabs and sheet music for those songs you just can’t seem to find anywhere.
