Oh, man! Do yourself a huge favor and forget tabs. Teach yourself to read music, i.e. standard notation. This book IS for jazz double bass players with standard notation throughout. I've seen Bob many times, and i've never seen him play anything but double bass.

Jazz musicians use standarrd notation charts. I've never even heard of a jazz double bassist who used tabs for anything. How can you read note duration with tabs? Standard motation is not that hard to learn. Really, you can teach yoursellf to read music.and you'll always be glad you did.
