Bass guitar chords?
Q. I am trying to memorize all the bass chords for a 4 string bass. I am surprisingly having trouble finding a diagram on the internet, and don't want to pay money, because I can probably get all the info I need free. Does anyone know of a good website to try? I was not born yesterday, so I don't need to be told to yahoo or google it or use any other search engine for that matter. Please help.
A. I disagree with Sarah G that bass players do not play chords. Although it's rare that we play all the notes at once the way a guitar player would, several well known players do occasionally employ this technique. In addition, being well grounded in chord theory and structure will allow you to do things like play arpeggiated chords as a bass line, or free your guitar or piano player from playing the root (or other) note on more advanced chords (common in jazz).
On to your question, while I'm not familiar with any free chord charts specifically for bass, you can check out the arpeggio builder at:
http://www.activebass.com
(lots of other great, free content for bassists here as well)
Also, several free guitar sites exist for chord charts. You can use these guitar charts and drop the top two strings (B and high-E), as the bottom four are the same in different octaves. Just be aware of which notes you lose, and play around with different patterns (playing further up the neck will produce cleaner chords). I suggest any of these sites:

And for a refresh on the CAGED theory of chord construction (for guitar), I suggest:

Sheets don't have to be free
A. Birdgirl getting my strong seconding here.
Almost all pop and show music sheets are infamously spare and simple. The melody is always in the right hand as well as in the vocal line, the rest a simple configuration. The majority of buyers for these are self-taught or very early level piano players, and it is often enough 'tricky' for them. They are the largest demographic market for purchasing those scores.
More elaborate, i.e. more advanced and difficult arrangements would be an economic disaster for the publisher, as there would be far too few buyers to make it worthwhile.
Once in a while an intermediate or slightly more difficult arrangement will have created a large enough demand (some George Winston, 'Carol of the Bells' as an example) that a full score of that arrangement becomes commercially viable because there is a great enough demand for it.
If you have a more developed technique, I'd advise that if you cannot yet 'get' at a glance from the score the basic chords of the piece, that you learn the 'pop' nomenclature of chords, which appear in those printed sheets, labeled above the vocal line along with the Guitar tabs.
Keep the fundamental written bass note(s) in the score (they 'set' the chord inversion for you), you can then readily 'fluff it out' with what you think are appropriate configurations, easily found passing tones within the key, those very mushy-soft and 'pretty' pop style six chords (i.e. CEGA as a C chord vs. an a minor 7 in classical theory) ~ et voila! you are a semi-improvising pop pianist.
The more experienced and knowledgeable musicians work from 'cheat sheets' a minimized 'chart' of the melody in treble clef with just the pop harmony jargon notated chord symbols. From that it is quick steps to very full-sounding arrangements.
If you want to try a lovely and harmonically 'sophisticated' Pop song, beloved of Jazz players, pick up a copy of "Spring can really hang you up the most." -- by Fran Landesman and Tommy Wolf. ~ It is a LOT of fun to play around with:-)
Best regards.
