Bass guitar
parts are usually written on the bass clef, just like the
left hand part of a piano score, and should be in the same key as the
guitar part (no transposing needed). Bass guitar, like guitar, sounds
an octave lower than written. The 4th string on the bass (low E) is
two octaves below the low E (6th string) on a guitar.
Thanks.
But for recording with rosegarden and linuxsampler.... does the bass
*.gig file also sounds a octave lower than written?
It depends entirely on the specific GIG instrument. Normally, afaik, most
instrument authors map the samples to their true pitch. At least that is
true for all orchestra libraries I know of, you otherwise would have a lot
of "crazy" transposing to keep in mind. But I don't know if it's also
true
for all bass libraries in general.
