visog Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Mine came today - just scanned it. Beautiful book... Some of the Jazzes are really obscene and the Ricks... Gibson T-birds caught my eye too. I like his interview style too - bit of a fanboy for the whole bassist schtick. I'll file this with my Steve Howe guitar book which is very much in the same vein. Pretty much all of Geddy's key basses are here too but accompanied by scores of new acquisitions. PS He got an awful tone on record with his flappy Wal. Just saying... *shudders* Quote
Thunderpaws Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Mine just arrived. Totally forgot I had ordered it all those weeks ago! It’s heavy, hefty even. Quote
Jabba_the_gut Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I got a second copy today as i thought it would make a good raffle prize at one of the upcoming bass bashes! 6 Quote

Love them all Sure but my point was that like for like instruments sound a bit different even with cnc, why on earth would any one judge “typical for year” with a hand made one ? Quote
Aidan63 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 my copy should have arrived today but instead I got the notification from Amazon Quote Estimated arrival date: March 15 2019 - April 23 2019 Quote
kevin_lindsay Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I've got the same notification. I've ready got a copy from the initial run, it's a gorgeous book (and very big!!). It's well worth the wait. I ordered another copy in case I need a last minute bass related present for someone!! 1 Quote

Norris Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Finished reading mine (1st print) this morning, which I've been dipping into since Christmas. What a gorgeous book. I'll have to start over again... Edited February 15, 2019 by Norris 1 Quote

LeftyJ Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Mine arrived yesterday, and I just scanned through it a bit. Looks great! I can't imagine paying the price that's on the back of the cover for it though. Seriously? 75 dollars? 1 Quote
Mickeyboro Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Mine’s here! Ordered 25 Dec at £22.18, Amazon have kindly refunded a dead fish(sick squid). Result... 1 Quote

Ooh, now that's interesting. I ordered mine the same day, at the same price, and wondered whether I might be due a refund when the order was finally fulfilled. TBH, my understanding was that the "price difference" policy only applied on pre-orders, which I don't think this was technically, but we'll see. 🤞 Quote
afterimage Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Mine arrived today wow some amazing basses Teddy has The only disappointing thing was no pages on his signature bass with Fender and the mim Japan and Mexico Basses Quote
howdenspur Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Mine arrived Thursday. Wow! Mine keeps opening in the Thunderbird section for some reason...those colours! Quote
yorks5stringer Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Now back up to £22. There's bad review of it as well: 'I purchased this so called ‘Big Beautiful Book Of Bass’ hoping to find some great fishing tips and tricks but it doesn’t even contain Bass recipes or even a single photograph of a fish, let alone any hints on how to catch the slippery little blighters. I think the guy who wrote this book (Jeddy?) was hoping to net himself some really stupid fishermen and it worked.' 6 Quote
