Happy Jack Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) This is the "revised" 1963 edition - revised to include a single publicity photo of a new band called The Beatles. And no, I haven't scanned the whole 38-page book! Scans deleted - see Post #23. Edited April 11, 2009 by Happy Jack Quote
obbm Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 O.M.G. I haven't seen that for years. I had a copy of the earlier version and taught myself from that. Bass Tutors and lessons in 1961? You have to be kidding. It was very much a teach-yourself cuulture. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 It's a pity you can't scan the whole thing. It'd be great learning riffs and exercises from the early 60s. Quote
EssentialTension Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 'Plectrum shield' is a new one to me. Quote
bumnote Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) I remember that too although my version was pre 'fab four' The bass players version of Bert Weedons play in a day. Edited December 14, 2008 by bumnote Quote

chris_b Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I had a copy of this. I can't say it was very helpful. Great to see Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers again. Check them out on Youtube. It's all a bit "end of the pier, variety", but that was popular music in the early 60's! Quote

SJA Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 bakelite-cased jack plugs in the old days? what a nightmare that must have been- you'd have to play gigs like a statue for fear of breaking the plugs... Quote
bassace Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 We supported Peter Jay and the Jay Walkers and the Tornadoes at the Cheltenham Arts Ball back in (??!!). Clem Cattini was a nice guy. What is that Vox thing in the photo? Quote

kingofthestuntmen Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 My dad brought this back from a Car Boot Sale last year - - It appears to be a 1970 reprint, original copyright says '63. No scans as I don't have a scanner. Quote
R,5,R,5... Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I've been playing the Beguine "riff or pattern" and found that there is a certain gaiety about this Latin American beat. It has definitely made me feel gay, and I intend to go on feeling gay for the foreseeable future. Quote

Sheesh! "Sideboard"! Well really! Quote

I'm impressed. Jennifer Quote
endorka Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I was also most impressed by the "Junkie's Riff". Jennifer Quote
Happy Jack Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Time to tidy up my attachments (oo-er Missus) so I've deleted all these scans.

Does either link work for you? Or are both no good? Quote
