Pit Music: String/Electric Bass parts from musicals.

I am putting a general request out there:

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the Bass music for the pit orchestra of some popular musicals?

I am a bassist, and some of the best times I've ever had were in the pit. I am working on polishing up my "pit" chops, because I want to put myself out there again.

One of the best (and most fun) ways that I have found to polish up the old Mercedes has been to accompany my favorite shows on CD. Trouble is, the publically available music is often transposed, and the piano F-clef transcription is hardly ever as complicated or true to the actual bass parts.

I really would appreciate any assistance...
Though as I post, I'm afraid it's probably a lost cause.

Hugs!

Oh I am aware of that. I've never done that myself, which is why I am cursed to sit in front of my CD player with a pen and some staff paper...

You never know. It doesn't hurt to ask though.

This sux.

Chauv...
That's exactly what I have been doing.
The Vocal Selections/CD combo works about 50% of the time though.
