Summary: The bassist's 'Bathroom Reader'
Comment: For the casual reader, the serious bookworm, and everybody in between - this should appeal to everyone who is interested or intruiged by the evolution of music with the Electric Bass. It all started here, and rock music as we know it would never be the same without the instrument pioneered 50 years ago by Leo Fender.
This book spans, in detail, the life (and death) of Fender basses... from the prominent Precision Bass, to the unique Jazz Bass, and even the concept 1970's 5-string short-scale bass which would never be seen again in the market. It will show you photographs of the Fender team in action... and much more.
In the back of the book, you will find descriptive explainations of the changes the basses underwent in the 50 years of existance... right down to the Tuning Keys, Bridges, and Decals.
This book is a treasure to me - if I ever lost it, I would buy another one without hesitation.

Comment: This book is the Vintage Fender Bass Handbook. The text and information is very easy to read and understand, most of it is in clearly captioned detailed photos. It covers all the models from the beginning to present, the book features co-author Albert Molinaro's unbelievable bass collection, the photos are worth the book price alone! This is really great if you are into Fender bases or vintage Fender guitars, and who isn't! Out of all my Guitar related books, this may be one of the easiest to View, Use and Enjoy! BUY IT - YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!
