I stand before you with my metaphorical cap in hand...
If you're reading this page, I don't want you to feel obligated or pressured into making a donation to me but I can't lie, it would be rather lovely of you if you did. 🥰
The month to month costs of running this site and creating the Tabs adds up pretty quickly; then there's the cost of licenses for the software I use to create the tabs and the site and the literal hours/days/weeks spent creating, editing, re-editing compiling and styling them to make them available for you, for free. 👍🏽
If I were doing this work full-time for a publishing house it would be a pretty tidy salary but this is a labour of love; a love letter to the music that I, and we, love; to the musicians who created it all and to you, my fellow Bassplayers who have been so poorly served by sheet music and online Tabs over the years.
I created this site as a learning resource, not an income stream for me, as somewhere you can explore Tabs and Riffs, read essays examining the minutiae of those Riffs and the techniques involved; a place where we you can learn some useful theory to help improve your playing.
I have no absolutely no illusions about getting rich quick by crafting Bass Tabs for obscure 1980's death metal bands! I just want to make them available for anyone, like me, who plays Bass and wants to learn them (especially given how few of them you'll ever find in the stores...)
As I say, you're under no obligation to make any kind of Donation.
If you want to use the site and it's resources anonymously, like some kind of Bass ninja, then that's perfectly fine; fill your boots. The Tabs are there, the essays are there, help yourself.
However, if you're of a generous mood and fancy making the heart of a grizzled old Bassist flutter with gratitude because you've found a Tab that you've been after for the longest time or you've found one of mine that is "right" where you've been struggling using other Tabs, then perhaps think about buying me a coffee? 👍🏽☕️
A lot of these Tabs are transcribed while I'm sat in coffee shops so you may literally be buying me a coffee (nothing fancy, maybe a flat white ocassionally...)
If you do choose to donate, you can choose to have your name added to a Wall of Fame (or not, if you wish to donate on the quiet...).
You can choose from the 3 amounts listed or donate whatever amount you feel comfortable with (or nothing at all, remember...), it's up to you.
The Tabs are educational tools for you as players to use and enjoy and even for those of you who teach others to use; I hope that you choose to donate something, no matter how small as a show of appreciation for the love and work I put into the tabs and the deep dives and the site itself. I hope you'll want to be a part of keeping it all going. 💪🏽
