Hal Leonard The Bassist's Fake Book Sheet Music

The Bassist's Fake Book — 250 Bass Lines in One Volume

This spiral-bound songbook collects 250 bass lines spanning pop, rock, funk, soul and jazz, each laid out in standard notation with matching tablature, chord symbols and lyric cues. Arranged at an intermediate level, the charts give players enough information to start faking the whole song on first read. The selection ranges from "Hotel California" and "Another One Bites the Dust" to "Birdland," "Seven Nation Army" and "Uptown Funk," with both a title index and an artist index for quick navigation.

What to look for when buying

The 464-page softcover sits flat thanks to its spiral binding, and the heavy paper holds up to pencil annotations. Published by Hal Leonard (ISBN 9781705107492), this edition covers a wide range of genres in one place — useful for gigging bassists who need a broad repertoire at hand.
