The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History

If you're a fan of the Fender Precision or Jazz bass, this book is for you. Vast amounts of photos and details about the development of the bass from 1951 to 2001. Simply excellent!

I got this to do some research on a precision bass purchase...and it was well worth the investment. It was very informative..has some stunning pictures of teh vintage and up tp date models...and nice "trainspottery"detail about the logo transfers, the components used and how they have changed over the years.If you love bass guitars and want to find out more about the "originals" this is a good place to start..I might invest in a few more books about fender as I found this one so fascinating.It's way too expensive a hobby to collect these babies......so Read(about) them and weep!!!Chcek out the white precision, with white headstock, scratch plate...and gold coloured hardware.......I want....!!!!

This is a wonderful historical perspective on the history of all fender basses, furthermore it provides a great reference tool for dating or checking the authenticity of vintage models. It features some amazing pictures of classic models, their creators and players. Essential coffee table book for bass players!

This is a must have book for Fender Bass Aficionados. Lacks some detail on necks but plenty of other detail in other areas!

Beautiful book. Ideal for the Fender fans, and especially those looking for the real minutiae of the fender bass over the years. Splendid stuff

The best book about the Fender bass. Great history and full colour pics. It's had lots of reading since I bought it.

I love it!
