Cat Burrito Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Has anyone heard any updates on this book? Amazon have changed the status from available June to currently unavailable and I can't find anywhere else so much as mentioning it. Cheers. Quote

Cheers.[/quote] How bizarre, Amazon UK are now showing this as "not yet released", and with a publishing date of 1 Oct 2010. However, when I looked last Thursday they allegedly had a single copy left in stock, so I bunged an order in and it arrived this morning. Maybe they've got access to a time-machine... Proper bass pr0n it is too!!! Quote
tony_m Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Another book recommendation, apologies if it's already been mentioned elsewhere... [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Bass-Manual-Maintain-Guitar/dp/1844258173/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1279102757&sr=1-1"]Haynes Fender Bass Manual[/url] Sections include:- Three classic Fender Basses Buying a Fender Bass Know your Fender Bass Setting up and tuning Repairs, maintenance & adjustments Specific case studies - a detailed examination and "blueprinting" of various instruments including an ex-Entwistle 1952/53 P and taking in a mix of MIA / MIJ / Squier Ps, Js, Tele, Bass VI, Bronco, Mustang and Jaguar. Key players and their basses Well worth a look IMHO, though I don't think I'll be attempting a DIY fretless conversion any time soon. Quote

BassBod Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 I've had some non-sense emails from Amazon..so I'd be interested to know what's happening before I cancel my order... Quote

99ster Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 I gave up trying to get this through Amazon (had to email them to request they cancel the order even though their system was still saying it's not available until October) - [url="http://www.snazal.com/buy-online-1574242547.html"]and got the book easily from here[/url] and cheaper than from Amazon. It arrived today... Quote
Cat Burrito Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I've ordered too from that link so cheers. It said usually despatches in 24hrs but once I paid it shifted to "should despatch in 2-5 days". Fingers crossed Quote
