Printable Bass Tab Paper
Free blank bass guitar tablature paper at exact scale — four-line tab for 4-string bass.
Bass tab paper provides four horizontal lines (one per string) for writing bass lines, grooves and fills by hand. It's the quickest way to note down what you play without full notation.
Set the systems per page and spacing, and print sheets for practice and transcription.
Printing at exact scale
Every sheet is drawn in real millimetres and prints at exact physical scale. For accurate output, set Scale = 100% (Actual size) and Margins = None in your browser's print dialog. Not sure your printer is honest? Run the printer ruler test first to confirm 50 mm really measures 50 mm.
Frequently asked questions
Does this cover 5-string bass?

Can I add notation?
Use the guitar/bass tab options to pair a staff with each tab line if you want pitch and rhythm too.
Is it really free?

How do I get an exact-scale print?
Choose your paper size, then in the print dialog set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and Margins to None. The sheet is defined in real millimetres, so it prints at true size. Use the calibration ruler page to verify.
Which paper sizes are supported?

Can I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
