Serious Electric Bass (Contemporary Bass Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is packed with endless info on the subject - scales and chords. By practicing the excercises in it, one can begin developing a good ear and understand why basslines of some songs are played the way they are.
In fact, this book is teaching me that there are many contemporary songs that are done in modes of common scales. I didn't even know such a thing existed!
Another thing is that you get a great appreciation for the neck and the note values along it by using this book in practice.
You would have to be able to sight-read for this book though, since tab is not used.
The first few sections - particularly the part on setting up and adjusting your bass - are invaluable, as they offer clear instructions that demystify the fear of 'DIY' on your bass.
The only problem I had was that one of the pages (I think it was p.55) was double-printed, so the page before it was not there. Otherwise, this book is an important investment for players who want to understand the relationships between chords and to develop their ear.
