Book Reviews of The Bass Book

Book Review: Leo changes the face of music.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Bass Book was very informative as to the process at which the bass guitar came to fruition and it's evolution. I couldn't put it down. Any one who plays the bass or is thinking of playing will enjoy reading this book. It also gave me a sense of pride that I belong to a sort of "brotherhood" of bass guitarists. Although it's history is not that old, it certainly made a great impact on modern music. I highly recommend this book to bass enthuiasts as well as anyone who likes music in general.
