Transcription note-for-note of Colin Moulding's bassline with XTC.
*This morning a Follower of my channel requested this song so I went ahead and did this -- just for FUN! And I transcribed every note, nuance, slide and slur into Finale v. 27 and am sight-reading this to be faithful to the original recording.
*****A big thanks to legendary JEFF BERLIN, whose BASS MASTERY sight-reading practice packages I often use to maintain competency at sight-reading standard notation. (Even though I've been reading music for 52 years, it is still important to "practice" sightreading.)

This bass is a Fender Jazz Bass Roadworn model made in Mexico in 2012 -- I bought it used in 2014.
**This bass's electronics: A few years ago my expert guitar luthier swapped out the standard Fender capacitor and replaced it with a genuine vintage 1960 Sprague tone capacitor (value = 0,1mdf) to the electronics, so now this bass has got an even more authentic vintage Fender Jazz Bass tone.
The bass has got flat Ernie Ball Slinky flatwound medium gauge strings that are seven (7) years old.
Neck pickup 8,, Bridge pickup 8, and Tone switch at 1.
Marshall B25 MK II amp settings: Bass 4 o'clock, Mid 4/5 o'clock, Treble 2 o'clock.

I own no part of any of this music. Only an illustration to show how to play it.
