I've got it stored away along with a bunch of other bass ( and Fender) books. Got to pull them out again a refresh my memory (I'll probably spend a whole afternoon looking through them).... |

I'm just kiddin' by the way, I've read the book in question, and it is very thorough in a lot of ways.

Seriously though, it looks interesting. I remember I saw a illustrated encyclopedia or something about guitars and basses at a Borders once. It was like $10 too, and no tax because it was in New York. I truly regret not picking it up, because it had some pretty interesting pictures in it. |
