Book Reviews of Serious Electric Bass (Contemporary Bass Series)

Book Review: Another powerful tool - truly for SERIOUS bass players.
Summary: 4 Stars

In fact, this book is teaching me that there are many contemporary songs that are done in modes of common scales. I didn't even know such a thing existed!

Another thing is that you get a great appreciation for the neck and the note values along it by using this book in practice.

You would have to be able to sight-read for this book though, since tab is not used.

The first few sections - particularly the part on setting up and adjusting your bass - are invaluable, as they offer clear instructions that demystify the fear of 'DIY' on your bass.

The only problem I had was that one of the pages (I think it was p.55) was double-printed, so the page before it was not there. Otherwise, this book is an important investment for players who want to understand the relationships between chords and to develop their ear.
