Description
The Bass Book: A Complete Illustrated History of Bass Guitars The story of the bass guitar is a pivotal one in the history of popular music. Introduced by Fender in California in the early 1950s, the Precision Bass revolutionized the sound of popular music and paved the way for the two-guitars-bass-and-drums lineup that defines pop music today. This book delves into the origins of the bass guitar and its enduring impact on modern music. From its early days to the present, the bass guitar has played a crucial role in shaping the sound of popular music. This comprehensive history features interviews with makers of bass guitars, including some of the most influential figures in the industry. The book also explores the popularization of the bass in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as more recent developments such as the rise of the five-string bass. With exclusive interviews and rare photographs, The Bass Book provides a wealth of information on the key makers and models that have shaped the sound of popular music. A reference section provides a detailed guide to the key makers and models featured in the book, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the bass guitar.
