Product Description:
The Fender Bass, created 40 years ago by the inventive genius of Leo Fender, still remains today as the definitive electric bass. Before Fender, there was simply no electric bass at all! LeoÕs design was so revolutionary that it rapidly became a Õclassic,Õ an essential element which was responsible for defining the image of modern music. Every new bass is inspired (more or less) from his basic design. The Fender Bass tells the detailed story of the electric bass through the different models and their improvements, from their origins to the present form. Includes hundreds of black & white and color photos of the basses and their most famous players.

Rating : - Buy the J.W. Black & Albert Molinaro book instead
Klaus Blasquiz's book is a noble effort, but weak on details, weak on pictures and unbelievably weak on editing and proofreading. One gets the impression that English is not his first language - and the fact that nobody fixed this in editing is unforgiveable in a "professional" reference book. I recently got the Black and Molinaro book, it's WAAAY better with lots of luscious photos.
