Is there something out that is like the old Mel Bay Chord Bibles for bass?

I have a 7 string.. looking for chording materials.

I must be getting old .. found a few in the $40+ range..

Someone must have a java applet for my freak bass.

Just go to the fretboard printer on studybass.com and make select custom under the instrument tab and type in your tuning. It will give you scale, chords, harmonics and you can print them.

at the risk of sounding terse, you would probably benefit more form learning how to construct chords yourself rather than invest in a book-o-charts.

A prudent student also would also have materials to visually revoice inversions... I'm probably slightly above average knowing about 5 inversions for every chord.. not one of the kids who memorized everything

Any tricks?
