Yep, I've read it.  Really enjoyed it.

 

It's very much more about the culture/time/situations that led to the electric bass being what it is, rather than it is about bass guitars as objects of desire. 

 

If you're a Spotify user someone has created a playlist of all the songs mentioned in the book, in order. Just search as per the book title

This book arrived from Amazon just now. I'm looking forward to reading it when I have time.

 

Has anyone here already read it? Or perhaps you have it on your xmas list?

Yes - it came up on my news feed a few months ago, so I pre-ordered it through Amazon. It's a fascinating read about the early years and development of the instrument. Well worth the investment! 🙂👍

 I had promised myself I wouldn't buy anymore books until I've read the outstanding eight I have stacked up.

 

Thank goodness there isn't a Book Abstinence Thread. 😁
