Bass Guitar ( 4 string ) Chord Book

There is a better chord book for four string bass.
But it's regular paperback.
(Les Fret suggested it above)
Chord Bassics by Jonas Hellborg.

I own both this book and the one I suggested above.

No, just me noodling around with 2-3 note chords on the upper regions of the fret board. I'm just having some fun looking at sheet music for some songs with guitar chords over the lyrics, wondering how I would play those chords on the bass. Don't want to get that deep in to theory, like some of the posts above; just a quick reference to glance at.
Noodle with the 3 and the 7
 
Don't let ANYONE dissuade you from playing chords on bass!

Oteil is a great player.

My $.02

6 Strings played high up are chord territory. 4 and 5 strings are less so to my ear.
When I play, I play with a oiano or guitar or both. I rarely us chords. The paino and guitar player don't like me intheir back yard and they stay out of mine.
