I'd say it totally depends on the complexity of the bassline and the intent of the person doing the tabbing.
The quickest I have tabbed a song has been a couple of hours, the longest several weeks of having to figure out the notes measure by measure. Then there are some songs that are way too difficult and I don't bother even trying to tab. Too hard for me. Cheers.
God Bless you Tabbers! Still amazed in how simplistic than trying to read music; and it makes so much sense. Had this been around when I first started out… Expecting great things from you new Bass Players!
i get off lucky in the sense that i can read sheet music. do not require tabs… some people on here request tracks where i can find sheet music. but no tabs. in that case 30 - 60 mins. to make my own tab…. wow lol that could take a long long long time depending on the song.. doing my own decline by nofx tab took about a month. but its an 18 min bass intense song so..
