Intermediate bass book.

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking for a book to learn from thats in the intermediate stage.

The areas i need most work on are making basslines (probably the most needed subject), scales and plaing in keys.

I know most of the bassics of bass but i do have trouble reading so it would be good if the book mabey started off with tablature with it petering out through the book but i can get other instructions for reading.

I would like to be able to get this book online and i am obviously in the UK so it needs to be able to be delivered in the UK.

I'm looking to spend around £15-20.


Thanks for any info.

Bass Junkie.

You need a beginning book. All of those things you listed are very rudimentary and buying an intermediate book will just give you a false sense of accomplishment just because the cover says "Intermediate" but you probably won't get much out of it.

I would suggest any of Ed Friedland's books. They can be found on amazon.com.
