asingardenof Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 The Birth of Loud by Ian S Port is a good read about the heyday of electric guitar and bass development and the relationship between Leo Fender, Les Paul, Gibson, Paul Bigsby, etc. 1 Quote

fretmeister Posted January 11, 2024 Posted January 11, 2024 Might not be appropriate, but "My bass and other animals" By Guy Pratt is fantastic. 1 Quote

Expand Yep - as big a fan as I am of Mingus I had to stop reading it. It got to be more than self indulgent, shall we say. A shame. For the same time period (and beyond) I’d highly recommend ‘From Birdland to Broadway’ by Bill Crow. 1 Quote
