Need good in depth scale books

[zack pride]

I have students, and am looking for really good scale/arpeggio books to teach out of. It seems the only ones out there are all tab with very few fingering variations.
I am looking for something that has real notes (tab on the side is fine) and all the main scales/arpeggios needed to play jazz (major, minor, melodic and harmonic minor, dominant, altered dominant, bebop, half and fully diminished, pentatonic, etc.)
Anybody know of some good ones, I would be super happy

This book is apparently really good: http://www.amazon.com/Serious-Electr.../dp/1576238830

I'm waiting for my one to arrive, so i can let you know more once it's here.

I don't see the utility of getting a book that gives you a pile of scales. If you learn the construction of the scale, and you learn the fingerboard, you don't need an encyclopedia to show you the difference between A Harmonic minor and Bb Harmonic Minor. Any good music theory book should do the job.

Of course, but everyone has their own unique brain & learns their own way. OP is probably aware of your advice, but maybe his student learns better visually - having something tangible like a book to refer to might be perfect. (sorry, I just had to say something, bothers me when someone asks for something and they get response about how they should do it another way..)

I like The Melodic Bass Library by Jimmy Haslip. It has notation, all those pesky fingerboard diagrams and (drum roll please) no TAB!

Thanks guys!
Those two books will work just fine. By the way, I forgot to mention that I can read music, tab, and know my scales. I just want my students to be prepared to read and solo in any key without having to think about patterns. Piano training helped me out a lot, but everybody doesn't approach it that way.
Thanks,
