Bass transcription of Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be”
As recorded on the 2014 single Rather Be by Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne

Bass: No credited player – originally a synth bass part, here adapted for electric bass

This transcription captures the elegant groove and syncopated phrasing of this 2010s dance-pop classic. Carefully laid out for beginner to intermediate players, with rhythmic clarity and chord symbols throughout.
No tablature included – perfect for players looking to sharpen their reading and timing in a modern pop context.
Stylistically bridging classical elements and electronic textures, this bassline works beautifully on a clean electric setup.

Bass Sound Reference:
The original track features a warm and smooth synth bass – likely created on a Juno-60 or comparable soft-synth – with soft attack and a clean, centered low-end. When played live, a tighter Eurodance-style tone (think “What Is Love” by Haddaway) works surprisingly well to bring the energy across on stage.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
