Playing bass

Richard Hawes (errant_jedi) - 12 Apr 2002 18:58:28

Hi, I'm new to this group. I am a relatively new
player and have never been in a band before, but I've
gotten all my stuff together and pretty soon I plan on
going out to put together whatever I can. I'm into
punk, which is pretty simple to play (hit note,
repeat...then repeat some more) and rockabilly which
isn't real complicated either, but I also really love
surf rock. I hear some cool little bass parts in a
number of surf songs. While I'm a pretty proficient
player, I'm not very good at picking things up by ear.
Are there any tab resources for surf, or is there
kind of a formula to it the way there is with
rockabilly? I know that surf isn't real bass-oriented
music, but I have some pretty cool ideas and I figure
I can lay down the backbeat while I find myself a good
guitarist to carry them out. Any help would be
appreciated.
