Bass Extremes - Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cd is very enjoyable, Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey show thier talent with original music played with leading bass and create a very original kind of music that can liked among jazz listeners. While VicWooten is probably one of the best bass players of today, mostly because ofhis technique, this is not a Wooten showcase of his wonderful playingabilits, in this cd Vic plays slow melodies or low grooves unlike his solocds where his shows off his technique. This cd is very enjoyable speciallyfor bass players or those who wants to experience bass guitar as a leadinginstrument in jazz fusion music.

Bass Player Presents the Fretless Bass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While I may be a bit biased towards the fretless bass - this book is certainly very well done.Chris Jisi, from Bass Player, has assembled some of the most influential fretless players on the planet, to talk about technique, music, style, and technical aspects of fretless bass.The book is well organized, with some great information about music available, as well as who's playing what.

The book is rounded out by some great luthiers and builders discussing care & feeding of a proper fretless.

I also love the center section with some full page, and full color, Bass Player Magazine covers of great fretless players that have graced their pages.That's a very nice bonus.

If you are at all interested in fretless bass - this book is a keeper!

Product Description:
Who would have thought the electric bass guitar with its frets removed would transcend the rhythm section to become one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in all of music? From the jazz genius of Jaco Pastorius and the funk/punk abandon of Les Claypool, to the landmark rock of Jack Bruce and Sting, the instrument has a lyrical legacy all its own. This book collects the very best interviews, lessons, and gear and maintenance guides into one smooth-reading compilation. With insight from over 25 masters, including Tony Levin, Marcus Miller, Gary Willis, Jimmy Haslip, and Percy Jones, The Fretless Bass will give you a keen appreciation for the important innovators, as well as plenty of tools to find your own voice on the instrument.
