    THE EVOLVING BASSIST?

    I have seen a few recommendations from forum members for this book and/or dvd. Rufus Reid is classic! Any worthful info from him would be priceless. But, given that this instructional media seems to be gears more towards the upright, would it be beneficial to use with electric bass? Thanks
