Is it possible to rent instructional DVDs for bass?

Sign in to disble this ad
There's a short list of instructional DVDs for electric bass that I'd like to check out, but I'd prefer to rent instead of purchase them, if possible.

Is there any company/website/person that rents these out?

Do Amazon do rental in the US? I use the UK rental and most of the titles they have for sale are also available to rent.

Cheers,

I did searches on both Netflix and Blockbuster. Netflix had about a dozen, but Blockbuster had about twice that, and they had more of the titles that I was specifically looking for.

Looks like it's time for me to start a Blockbuster Online free trial!

One place I lived the local music store rented out instructional videos. I would say check your public library. Out here they have everything CD's, DVD's and so on for lending.

My local library's selection of musical reference material stinks, so luckily I found that I can rent bass DVDs with my family's online Blockbuster rental thingamajig.

It's basically the same program as netflix, and they have quite a selection. Definitely check that out.
