gary mac Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Found this book in the library a couple of days back, by Jim Roberts. Any of you read it? I've not finished it yet, but it's a very entertaining read and not quite what you might expect from the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leowasright Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Not read it yet, but Im sure it demonstrates Leo Fender got it right 1st time, and even more right the 2nd time with the Jazz! I have only recently realised what a profound a change must have occurred when the electric bass guitar got hold in the 50's.
