The Nice – Diary of an Empty Day – Bass Cover

In 1969 Keith Emerson, one of the greatest PROG/Rock keyboard players ever was in a band called The Nice, and this is one of their songs which I transcribed from scratch by ear into a three (3) page transcription between last night and today. The Bass Player was Lee Jackson on this track.

****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 since 1972, it is still important to “practice”.) Btw, I started learning to read music with superb bass guitar method and sight reading books published by Mel Bay.

My bass is a vintage Rickenbacker 4001 bass manufactured in May 1973 with its original pickups.
Neck pickup volume at 9, Bridge pickup volume at 10; (NO PRE-AMP USED or Needed)
Neck pickup tone switch at full and Bridge pickup tone at full.
The strings are an old, used set of ROTOSOUND 45 -105 roundwound strings, and the bass is playing through a Marshall B25 MK II amp settings: Bass 4/5 o’clock, Mid 4 o’clock, Treble 5 o’clock.

I OWN NO PART OF ANY OF THIS MUSIC. NOT FOR ANY PROFIT. EDUCATIONAL VIDEO TO SHOW BASS PLAYERS HOW THEY MAY PERFORM THE BASS GUITAR PART.
