Could you build this?
Partial The tab editor, playback, and PDF/video export are standard app work, but drafting accurate bass tab from audio requires robust pitch and transcription modeling that vibe coding alone won't deliver.
What it would actually take: Build a cross-platform desktop app (Electron or Tauri, or native) with a tab-notation editor and an audio sampler for playback. The core difficulty is polyphonic-to-fretboard transcription: bass-tuned pitch detection, onset detection, and mapping pitches to string/fret positions, which requires signal processing or a model like Basic Pitch fine-tuned on bass recordings, plus a sampled bass library recorded from real instruments.
