2Basics for someone without an internet connection.  Nov 22, 2008
This book is for beginners. You can find all of these tips and more scattered all over the internet. Just check out YouTube for great, free lessons! If you have a child who's not allowed to browse the web, or a bassist friend without a computer, then they might benefit from having this book around.

Well worth the money and time spent reading. I keep going back to this book every few days .

4Reccomened for intermediate bassists  Oct 01, 2008
This book is for you if:
You already know your way around the fingerboard, and know some theory, and have a solid beginner's grasp of the instrument, and are looking for some ways to improve or aid your playing/gigging, *outside* of basic technique, reading and theory.

many useful tips, some more so than others, depending on your level. An excellent supplement to the fundamentals.

4Great for Beginner to Intermediate  May 12, 2008
This is one for the library. Totally recommend getting the Tascam MPB-T1 Mobile Bass Trainer - MP3with a leather case from ValetStand com. Just down load the cd to the Tascam trainer and you can practice anywhere.

5Handook for mastery   Mar 03, 2008
The 101 tips that modern bass master Gary Willis lays out in this excellent book will help bassists of all levels improve their craft in a variety of ways. Take me for example. I had been obsessing over the lack of mids in my tone, tweaking my preamp and considering introducing an expensive EQ pedal into my effects chain. Then I read Tip 49, and backed off the volume on the neck pickup of my Jazz(tm) bass. Wow! There was the articulation and punch I'd been looking for. I had also been feeling guilty for watching my alma mater's football games on Saturdays ("there goes another three hours that I could have been practicing!"). Then I read Tip 96, and bought a length of 2x4, some rope, and two screw eyelets. Presto - I had the perfect "bass" to focus on the mechanics of right hand slapping with my thumb, isolated with no need to worry about what my left hand was doing, all while watching football. Features a CD-ROM of audio tracks that you play over for some of the Tips.
